[QUOTE="technologist, post: 1151007, member: 4134"] When you turn on FileVault, your home folder's contents are placed inside an encrypted disk image file. Even if you connect the hard drive to another machine, the disk image file will still be encrypted. The only way to decrypt that file it is with the password or master password. There's no way around that. It wouldn't be much use as a security feature if it didn't work that way. Any files not stored in the FileVault home folder would not be part of the encrypted image and will still be accessible. [/QUOTE]
