File Share Encryption

I set up 2 partitions on my hard drive, Boot and Data.  I encrypted the data partition first.  I was surprised when I booted the machine and was asked for the passphrase.  Later I encryped the boot drive and set a new passphrase for it.  Now both partitions have the same passphrase and I can't change one without the change affecting both partitions.  Is ther a way to correct this?

You should be able to log into the machine, open  up pgp desktop and go to "change passphrase" on the relative partition and it should reflect only that partition

I know it should work that way but it does not.  I use the change pasphrase utility on the Data partition and it changes it on the boot partition at the same.

I would consider just encrypting the non-boot partition to your public key.  If for some reason, this is not acceptable for your needs, I would then try adding yourself as a passphrase user, and after making sure you have this passphrase access use working, you might want to delete the public key user access.

Rather than trying to seperately encrypt the Data partition, I created a virtual disk on the Data partition and encrypted it and was able to use a different passphrase than the boot partition.

It sounds like WFS posted the solution. I am marking his last comment as the solution.
