    I am looking for a free program to put a password on my External HD.

    I want to just be able to put a password on it, and maybe a username, so when you plug it in to the computer, it ask's for the password/username.

    I have seen a few programs like this, but only trial versions. Is there a free one that is dependable?

    Thanks.

    You could TrueCrypt the entire drive.
