HDD Locking Software

talib82 · 29th June 2012, 4:12 PM

Hi Guys,

Is there a free Windows software which allows you to "lock" a hard drive (e.g. a 2nd hard drive inside a PC)? Hoping to have protection against someone physically removing the hard drive and plugging it into their own computer.

Can this be done?

Ideally the drive would still be accessible in the host by entering a password or something.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!
Dave

Have a look at TrueCrypt or BitLocker.
