I've tried in the past to use truecrypt but found it too difficult to follow.

Yes. Truecrypt or Bestcrypt etc. can encrypt partition or containers

Alternatively you can P/W protect your whole drive by going into the BIOS and setting a master HDD password, that way if someone steals it, and puts it in another computer, it will be unusable without the password..
Food for thought.
