Bitlocker will encrypt your system drive but it will not protect a non-system
drive such as your E: drive. You can, however, use EFS to encrypt non-system
drives. This is a new feature of EFS in Vista. That can be done using
cipher.exe at a command prompt. For example, running "cipher /e /s:e:" will
encrypt your E: drive and its contents and anything that you add later to
that drive. This will prevent access to the files and folders on E: from the
CD boot that you describe. Be sure to back up your EFS certificate and key
to a PFX file on removable media. Vista's Help and Support has documentation
for how to do that.
