flash drive encryption between different OS's



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm looking for a solution to encrypt a flash drive formated in FAT32 so
it can easily be decrypted across multiple OS's with the least amount of
software needed.  

I don't know a whole lot about Windows and what comes installed if
anything by default to handle encryption.  I tried luksformat /dev/* but
then on a XP machine it didn't think the drive was formatted. 

I saw TrueCrypt as a possible option for both Linux and Windows, but I
would prefer to keep software requirements on a different machine to
default out of the box options if possible. 

I did look over the forum archives and googled around a bit, but I suppose
my search terms are not finding anything useful. 

I am thinking if software will be a requirement, I could just put two
partitions on the drive one say a 50M or so unencrypted to hold needed
software, then encrypt the difference.  But that would not solve the
possible problem of say needed to use the drive at the local library
possibly. 

Ideas or better search terms?
