Flash Drive Encyrption

[greatman05]

Hey, guys. Ummmmm....I have a problem. My personal flash drive (the only one I have) has very important files on it. This wouldn't be a problem except...I have to give it to my teacher. I'm afraid that she might delete all of the files on there or something, and I don't want to lose the stuff I have. Is there a program that you can put on a flash drive that will prevent deletion of certain folders and files without a password? After the program's usefulness is over, will I be able to remove the encryption off of these certain folders and files?

You still won't be able to prevent the teacher from formatting the drive

Really, just make a copy of the important stuff. You should have a backup in any case, since flash drives are not reliable and the thing could fail or get lost at any moment anyway.

OK. Thanks for the help!

If you want to encrypt the contents of a flash drive, try one of my fav problems truecrypt.
