563792 2007-06-27 23:25:00 I am wondering if anyone knew of any programs that enable to to assign a password to a hard drive so that access can be restricted to it. The hard drive in question is the second one which is used for archives.

regards, Shomenno

563793 2007-06-27 23:29:00 TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/) is what you're looking for:thumbs: wratterus (105)
563794 2007-06-27 23:47:00 Thanks for the reply. Is there any program that simply denies access to the hard drive and does not involve encryption?

563799 2007-06-28 06:50:00 TrueCrypt wont do the boot partition though, for that you'll need DriveCrypt or StarCrypt

However, my vote goes to TrueCrypt too, put your My Docs folder or whatever in it.. works a treat :)

Hey Speedy
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but where in XPPr is the sedcurity tab you're talking about.
Control Panel, Properties of the Disk, Users ??
I'd like to have a play if I could figure out where to go (be polite Ha Ha)

No right mouse on whatever folder you created / properties / security tab.

You have to clear Simple file sharing (tools / folder options / view tab, after u run My computer). For the security tab to appear.

Only thing is, if you're on a network and u untick simple file sharing, you'll have to add yourself to the other PC (and vice versa).

And I would say if you have no other users on the PC, there's no point in going here.
