I've just bought a new 300GB external hardrive and since it only needs a USB connection anyone can come in and take it and possibly delete things or copy things without my permission. Is there anyway i can put a password on the hardrive so i can only get into it or perhaps a program u can download which will do the same thing???
Thanks alot!

you need a software that will put a password on the folder you open, go on download or google, and search for it..

sure, you could. i don't know what operating gadget that you're utilising yet assuming that it truly is homestead windows, you should use some 0.33 celebration application strategies. even if it truly is homestead windows 7 perfect / corporation version, you could try bit-locker which encrypts the entirechronic. so as that it truly is a lot extra guard than putting a only a password. once you're utilising Linux / Unix distribution, guy you could do fairly some issues and lot of protection appropriate initiatives. once you're utilising Linux / Unix and decide to study about them, contact me. i'm keen that could also help you. Cheers.

go into properties and click on pasword protect
you can also do this to any files in there as well
but for better protection go to file hippo.com

Yes, look for Encription software. But someone can still insert it and reFORMAT it.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
