All the products you mention are "encrypted container" type products. That is they create a file of X megabytes, mount it as a drive using a special driver and then encrypt/format it and allow you to access it as a drive (L:\ for example). As far as I know there are no truly encrypted partition programs for Windows, for Linux there are a few but the majority are also "encrypted container" file mounted as a drive type. All are pretty good security wise, the main caveat being you better use a strong passphrase or it won't be hard for someone to decrypt your data (hint: your federal prison ID number is a bad choice as scarfo found out =).
