DriveCrypt is decent enough (I've used it in the past). But now that there's system/boot-partition support in TrueCrypt, I can't see much reason to use a proprietary and payware product...

Here's another VBScript based one that uses the capicom.dll.

I haven't given it a good working test in regards to security strength but, it is stable.

TrueCrypt 5 can now crypt partitions and require authentication at boot.  This is now much closer to your initial request

I would have missed out on TrueCrypt 5 for a long time, if it hadn't been because of Josh's post about it :) - boot-time auth and system partition encrypt = pure :-*
