Hi,
I have a 1GB USB flash drive with some personal and business material on it. If lost, I don't need people poking around on it. I was looking for some software to password-protect the whole drive. I've heard of software to password-protect individual files, but I need software to password protect the whole drive. If anyone knows of such software, please post it.

Thanks!

I havent tried any of these simply because i choose to not let any important data get on USB drives.

Unless you bought a no-name flash drive , all the better known brands of flash drives have encryption software that will lock the drives. Sandisk uses CruzerSync, Lexar has jumpdrive secure. They all have some kind of protection.
