| 395339 | 2005-10-11 23:39:00 | Is there any way I can password protect or not allow unauthorised access to files on a flash drive? Regards |

| 395341 | 2005-10-12 00:07:00 | Depends if the flash drive came with a program that lets you do it. Like the transcend flash drives, let you format the drive, make a secure partition on it, lets u boot from it, and lets you password protect it. |

Means that any Windows PC he plugs it in to, he can open the sucker up on without having to run through a lengthy install process etc. That and I told him to stick with Blowfish encryption :) |

| 395344 | 2005-10-12 09:54:00 | I have a SwissBit flash drive which has an inbuilt security programme enabling the setting of a password to all or part of the contents. It uses a small programme called Securelock. Don't know how secure it really is, but..... | Scouse (83) | ||
