I want to have to enter a password to access ANY info on these drives...is this possiable? Any and all help or suggestions here is fully appreciated.

| | Kinda like full disk encryption? The idea being that a stolen drive does not equate to loosing data? |

| | Using windows 7 Ultimate/Enterprise has a feature called BitLocker which will do exactly what your asking. Since you are using 7 Pro, you would have to use some sort of 3rd party software to do that. Doing a google search for such software comes up with a lot of free and paid software for doing that. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...ures/bitlocker |

| | Thanks BassFisher...I did the search but there are so many that I'm just not sure which would be best. Could you recommend one or maybe two? I was told that even though the 7Pro doesn't have the bitlocker, I could still download and use the bitlocker? |

| | I highly recommend Truecrypt - TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux - it's free and extremely capable, frankly I can't imagine a better encryption app than this one (I use it for my OS partitions on both my laptop and desktop PCs and for full encryption of an external backup drive) |
