FreeOTFE Alternatives
FreeOTFE is described as 'free, open source, "on-the-fly" (OTFE) disk encryption program for PCs running MS Windows and Windows Mobile PDAs (FreeOTFE4PDA)' and is an app in the os & utilities category.

Other great apps like FreeOTFE are GnuPG, LUKS, Windows BitLocker and Kleopatra.
