Im using windows... and i would like to know which software out there is the best when in come to full disk encryption... free and open if possible... thanks...
What about CipherShed? There's still uncertainty on all this, that's why I recommend DiskCryptor instead.

That's not the issue, you only provided one link recommending VeraCrypt when in fact it's position as TrueCrypt's official fork is very much disputed, as shown in my link (which is where your thread should be as well).
