Unlocking My Passport Essential SE in Linux


Do you think it is possible to unlock the hard drive in Linux? I like the idea of password protecting my files, just wish I could unlock the files in Linux.

I don't know about unlocking the drive in Linux, but perhaps you could use something else such as TrueCrypt to protect your files. It works with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
