Easy, 1. connect the USB 2. Run the TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/) 3. Mount the un-partitioned disk (on the USB) drive. I will be asked for the password in the mounting process. [10 seconds, so far]
Unless the station has something that will copy the disk, while connected; the password by itself wouldn't help anybody (its a local disk, not a web application accessed by anybody with my password). That said, but since i always worry about key logger and such, I very much try to avoid using it from a PC/station I do not trust (I know how easy key-loggers are to deploy ;) BTW, I use this setup on a WD 320G Passport external disk, not as backup, but as my Data disk. The whole setup is fairly secured, while still being comfortable for daily usage. nir -- Regards, Nir Grinberg I.T.C.
