As far as I know you need PGP Pro which ain't free. Dunno if you have access to newsgroups, so might as well check this link. I assume you have knowledge concerning torrent downloads.

? Partition encryption: Enables PGP Whole Disk Encryption users to encrypt select partitions of disks instead of the entire disk, providing compatibility with multi-partition disks that use different operating systems on each partition. It also ensures that the laptop recovery partitions commonly used on recent laptops are not encrypted.
? Enhanced performance and safeguards improvements: Improvements in overall performance plus new controls to maximize CPU utilization and power failure safeguards enable maximum performance and safety for power users.
? Resizable virtual disks: Securing data with multiple layers of encryption, PGP Virtual Disks store files and folders inside an encrypted virtual volume. In PGP Desktop Pro 9.5.3, a PGP Virtual Disk can grow in size as needed, allowing the users to add data without managing space requirements.
? Notification window: PGP Desktop Professional?s notification window alerts users when encryption operations are performed.
