If you mean full Hard disk encryption, right down to the FAT Table, then I would recommend using a third party program that supports such functions such as "Truecrypt".

NTFS for example supports file encryption and windows has "Bitlocker" which supports a type of drive encryption and file container encryption.

There are also hardware based methods which allows for OS transparent hard drive encryption that would prevent the drive from being read in another system without the hardware key.

File system is USUALLY not important. Since encryption at a hardware level bypasses the OS and is transparent to it.
