Guest jay Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I’m using a PC with Windows XP Pro. Internally the PC uses NTFS, but I have an external Western Digital hard drive (FAT32) attached via USB. In the office I share a PC with three other people. I would like to protect the information I have stored on the WD1200 external other than disconnecting it and hiding it in a file cabinet. Is there any method you can suggest where it can be password protected or sharing denied?

Guest Anteaus Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 RE: Keeping the FAT32 out of the fire You could also look at http://www.truecrypt.org - just beware that there is NO backdoor, so don't lose the password or the data is gone!
Guest jay Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 RE: Keeping the FAT32 out of the fire This sounss lie what I need to ensure security. But first I want some answeres to questions. 1. Will this allow me to work off two separate PCs with an external Western Digital hard drive? 2. Once installed, would I choose the same password on both PCs? 3. After being instqlled will I always be questioned about the password or wil my profile do the interfacing?
