I recently purchases an external hard drive, a Seagate - BlackArmor 500GB. Does anybody know how to add a password to it such that if I lose it nobody will be able to see my information and files?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
this may be it....
Preparing the BlackArmor Drive for Use 2
Maxtor Black Armor
The Configure window opens:
T
Step 2: Select your BlackArmor drive from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Enter the 25-character identification code printed on the drive label.
Step 4: Enter and confirm a drive password.
The password must contain between 6 and 32 characters.
Step 5: Click Set.
A message confirms that a password has been set successfully and offers the
option of setting a password hint:
Step 6: Click Done to close the Black Armor Manager window or Set Password Hint to
create a password hint.
Note: For information on setting a password hint, see Setting a Password Hint.

Just so you know....putting a password on a portable drive will not make the drive unreadable.
A casual user wouldn't be able to compromise it but anyone with any savvy would be able to with ease.

Crash82, your link doesn't work. I set up the hard drive just the way the instructions said, however it never asked me to assign a password like it says in Step 4 of your instructions.
jndmx, Thanks for the info. I'll read through link and try it again.
Thanks for suggestions.
