I was wondering if there are any zoners who could tell me how to go about creating a password for my external disk drive and USB keys?
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks, Kim.

Do you ean an external harddrive or external disk drive (like a floppy drive or cd drive)? I might be able to help if you mean external harddrive.

This would require external software, which I don't think is free.

Its more comon for flash drives, but some portable drives come bundled with some software to do this; for example on my kingston stick i have 512mb of protected content which is passworded.
