I have a WD Elements 2TB USB hard drive. I would like to encrypt the whole drive with TrueCrypt on my CentOS box. Could someone direct me to a tutorial on how to do this? Ideally, I would also like to access it with my WinXP box, but this part is optional.
Thanks for your help. Mike.

Truecrypt is platform agnostic, see the FAQ. As for instructions see their tutorial: http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/tutorial
What you will need to do is use a file system that both OS's can read/write to.

Last time I checked I was searching for whole disk encryption for OS-X and TrueCrypt does this only for Windows.

Probably a semantics issue, op wanted a drive to access from two OS's, so whole drive enc in form of the partition that has data is likely the only need as I presume he doesn't intend to boot from it.
Also, it's a USB drive, so again not likely needing to boot from it...
