Since there's no BitLocker feature in Windows XP, you can only use 3rd party software to encrypt your drive. You can try Kakasoft Advanced Folder Encryption, which is also good at encrypting files/folders on drive and hiding hard drive on computer. You can find it here: http://www.kakasoft.com/folder-encryption/

File encryption is a data security featue that offers reliable and advanced protection against security threats.

And that can achieved through file encryption only.
There are two types of folders: • Container Folders, which can only hold or contain other folders (sub-folders). They are usually used for organizing the content. • Application Folders, which contain applications such as chat, files, images, calendar, HTML pages, and so on.
