data encryption the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign governments. It is also now used increasingly by the financial industry to protect money transfers, by merchants to protect credit-card information in electronic commerce, and by corporations to secure sensitive communications of proprietary information.

What file system must be used to encrypt an entire hard drive?
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.
