BTW, Password protection without encryption would be useless; to protect your data you must encrypt. Very Happy

There is a free open-source program called Truecrypt that is really great.

thanks for the info spliff. i got a question though. i was looking at the website and it says that the password isn't stored on the disk. so i'm wondering if i plug my hd into another computer, would i be able to access the hd if i install the program on the computer.
