Does anyone know of any free jump drive security? I have 3 jump drives and need to add security to them so not all the files are accessible. Thanks for any help.

I am using XP sp2. I had a Lexar jump drive that had security on it that worked great. I don't have that drive anymore. Let a friend borrow it and he never returned it. All my jump drives now are Kingston. They have no security. Thanks

My jump drive is secure but my friend is a security risk. I bet he didn't get to the files in the secure section of the drive. Didn't really have any secure files on it at that time but I need this feature now.

A quick Google-ing turned up this:
http://www.magic2003...crypt/index.htm
Looks like it encrypts the whole disk, and requires the software to be installed on any PC that you wish to access it with. So I dunno if that's what you're looking for...

Oh I got confused when you said Jump Drive 
. I though you were talking about a feature on a physical hard drive, but you are talking about a flash drive.

Any system you use will be OS and vendor specific, which is why I never bothered with the things.
In linux I'd just create an image file and load an encrypted file system on it, and mount that file on the client. For more primitive systems...
If you're worried, try an encrypted archive file? A password protected zip. Even leave a copy of the archive program on the drive.

I've always called it a "flash drive" or a "usb stick"

Same here. In Jersey and NY. Don't know what kind of Yank is being talked about. Maybe that part of the country where they call soda pop.

Soda is that fizzy shit that tastes like crap - yeah you know CLUB SODA (even says it in the name.) Everyone I know refers to it as a Jump Drive.
You NY / NJ people talk funny anyways. I know - I frequent there a lot.
Now if you don't mind I will go enjoy some more POP
