Thinkpads Forum

I am going from a T42 to a T61p. The T42 had a Thinkpad utility called Private Disk for data encryption. It does not appear that Lenovo is shipping this utility (made by Ultimaco) in the T61p.

I have a bunch of data stored in these private disks? ANy suggestions? (Apparently Ultimaco does not yet have a Vista compatible solution)

I would migrate all data from your Private Disk(s) on the T42 to a third-party encryption program. I recently migrated to an open-source solution called TrueCrypt and have been very pleased. I'm also much more confident that I won't be left in a lurch again as I was temporarily when I moved to a new machine that had CSS 8 already, and didn't realize for some time that Lenovo had decided to get rid of Private Disk.
