How do you password protect files on a external drive?

In: Windows

[Edit]

May Already Be Part of the Drive Itself!

Many of the new external hard drives have password/encryption software built in. Check the owner's manual first, to see if this is available for your drive. I recently bought a Seagate drive that not only has password protection, but also has a large amount of storage space, webbrowser, and can be set up with a files structure similar to the Windows environment. You can copy your computer's files to it automatically (with included software) and virtually carry around your own computer in a case about the size of your wallet.
