Flash Drive and Portable HDD Pasword Protection

[Ultiweap]

Hello,

I transfer often important files on my flash drive or my portable HDD and I would like to password protect them due to lost or theft. I search for encryption programs and also Windows 7 bitlocker but all of them need the program to be installed to be able to open it as not any computer has those program and internet connection.

I would like to know if that there is a way that I can password protect my flash drives and that I may use it on any windows operating system and also without the need of having the program on every computer that I use my flash drives on?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey, if you buy a SanDisk Cruzer with u3 software (which i think they all come with) there is an option which allows you to set a password.

Mind is a MaxFlash 8GB.

Take a look at Cryptainer LE which we have used for a long time. You will find it with a Google search, or at www.TimeAtlas.com/Useful_Utilities/
It is free and the instructions are complete and useful.

I have had no problems with Cryptainer Le on XP and Vista.
However so far it is the only program to freeze Windows 7
