Password protecting an entire drive?Submitted by jester48 on July 11, 2007 - 4:56pm
Is there any free software that makes me input a password before I can even access the jumpdrive? Because I keep my instant message logs and important files on mine, and while I protect the individual files, I'd like keep the entire drive unusable without some master password. Thanks ( categories: )

I think that you can encrypt
I think that you can encrypt the whole drive but then I don't think you would be able to use portable apps. Is that right everyone?

If you made a TrueCrypt container that covers like 99% of the
drive than yes, and you can still use PortableApps (I do this all the time). Since you can mount the container as a drive!

Seems pretty good, but would I need the software on every machine that I take the USB drive to? It just seems that the way they're decrypting the data would require their software to be installed.
