Hello,

I have USB hard drives with my personal data (files, videos etc) and I don't want any one to access the whole drive, OR selected folders. How can I protect it with a password. Do I need to buy any software, what is drive encryption? Thanks.

Hi, you should look into using an encrypted filesystem or folder.
An application such as TrueCrypt (Free opensource application) may be just what you need.

It allows you to either encrypt an entire drive, or create a section/partition on the drive that is encrypted.
