Default Hard Disk encryption

Can anyone suggest a good HD encryption program? I travel a lot with my laptop and some of the stuff are financial details that I am always worried about when I travel to certain parts of the world. The laptop can be replaced, but customers and suppliers data could be invaluable to competing businesses. so I need something that can keep that data locked in if ever the laptop gets stolen.
Any suggestions?

TrueCrypt is far and away the best available. Better yet, it's free open-source software.

Yep, I was also just about to recommend TrueCrypt. I've never actually used it myself, but Steve Gibson speaks very highly of it on my favorite podcast, Security Now.

The company installed PointSec PC, by Checkpoint software, on all of our portables. Now boot up and shut down takes forever, is was long before just with XP but now it's getting unbearable. But what can I say? It's not my machine.

Well, you missed the most obvious information.
Which OS you are running...

If Mac OS X, just activate FileVault.

You're in luck then! Microsoft built in their own anti-theft device to all versions of Vista!

Potential thieves will give up having to click "accept" and "run" long, long before they find your sensitive data!

Black Stax SRS-4040 rig - awesome! Loving it! Certainly worth most of the extortionate amount of pennies it cost. ;-)

Where to buy the Zero DAC and/or OPA-Sun/OPA-Earth HDAM modules?
Want to mod the Zero DAC?
And finally, the very-modded FrankenZERO

Huh? I got a laptop with fingerprint recognition and I can hack into it. I can use ERD to get into the rest of the system. And I am a mere amateur at it. Imagine what a pro could manage then...
I am going to try Truecrypt on one of my general laptop before installing it on my business laptop.
