    How would i password my Flash pen drive?

    often at college i get alot of my class looking at my work and files on my pen drive (on which my work and other junk is stored) and was wondering if i could password the pendrive so to access it anywhere a password or something has to be entered for access?

    i prefer to have my own ideas kept to my head and not me mates looking at me work and stealing my ideas lol

    can you just keep anything 'personal' zipped with a password (im pretty sure you can install winrar onto your flashdrive, so it doesnt need to be installed on any of the machines you use) ?

    Another recommendation here for Truecrypt. Just make sure you always use the option to 'backup the volume header' whenever you create a new encrypted volume.
