You need 3rd party software to encrypt the whole hard drive. With the built in encryption, EFS, the key to decrypt is stored in the user profile. If the profile is encrypted it can't be read.

Thanks for your reply. Can you please let me know how can I encrypt the
entire HD? Do I have to do it folder by folder?
