I cannot find a way to password protect an external hard drive. I want it
secure as I carry this to and from work. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Hi,

For a free solution:

TrueCrypt
http://www.truecrypt.org/

Free open-source disk encryption for Windows XP/2000/2003

Main Features:
* It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it
as a real disk.
* It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as
USB memory stick, floppy disk, etc.

Any idea whether TrueCrypt is required on any PC where the USB drive will be
connected? Or is it something you put on the USB drive itself?
