Not sure if this post belongs in this category. I'm trying to password protect an external hard-drive that will be used to hold media. I've read posts about how you can do this in disk utility by creating a disk image.
I need a really simple explanation of how to do this.
Thanks!

What operating system are you running?

Check out TrueCrypt ... which just happens to also be an open source project.

It covers Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.
