encrypting a USB hard drive

I use a Cavalry 500Gb external hard drive to store material on. I would like to encrypt the drive. Can I do it with stuff still saved on it? Will I have to move stuff off? What solid opensource software is there to help me achieve this?

This is the only one I've ever used, but it's done the job beautifully.
