Password protect flashdrive - any freeware?

[Alvar Liddell]

I've searched all the usual places and Googled away but I haven't
found what I want which is a simple way of password protecting a flash
drive. Keepass is fine for protecting my data but I want to stop
anyone using my flashdrive. Is there a program that will ask for a
password when the flashdrive is started? Similar to the password
protection in the BIOS when a computer is started.

Thanks.

Lexar has something like that for their "JumpDrive" I don't know if it
would work with other flashdirves.

I hated it. I just found it a nuicance to log on all the time.

U can try to use TrueCrypt (it is a small workaround! You can create a
cripted driver inside USB perdrive)
http://www.truecrypt.org/
or (in the same way...) Private Disk
http://www.dekart.com/

for both of these programs You have the possibility to use directly from a
USB pendrive.
Here U can find both ready to use in "portable version" (i'm sorry the site
is in italian... i'm italian!)

or you can read here english version of truecrypt portable sw.

BTW in the same page try to check also:
Remora USB File Guard (would be useful for U!) and others suggested
Proggies.
