HDD password for mac

[iKaushal]

Hi,

I wanted to know if it is possible to have a HDD level password for my MacBook Pro. I use mavericks and windows 8 both. So in case my mac gets lost, I want to be 100% safe that even by removing the HDD and converting it to external hdd, no one can access my data.

I have a similar password in my sony vaio laptop.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

FileVault 2 will do that.

FileVault 2 will do that.

Will it protect my windows partition as well?

Nope. FileVault 2 only protects the OS X side. For Windows you're on your own.
