Flash drive security

How can I make the data moved from a computer to a secure flash drive so that only a person with the key and password can access the data on the flash drive.  Grateful for any help.

Concerning

The free program TrueCrypt can be used to encrypt a USB Flash drive. http://www.TrueCrypt.org/

For your needs, you will need to look at Portable Mode , unless you can install TrueCrypt on all computers that will be used. http://www.TrueCrypt.org/docs/

If you have Windows 7 Ultimate, you can use BitLocker To Go to create thehttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Help-protect-your-files-using-BitLocker-Drive-Encryption files

You can use the BitLocker To Go reader application to access the files Vista and XP systems, but you would not be able to change.       http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-BitLocker-to-go-reader

  • You are looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, USB flash drive password protection

    Hello everyone,

    I scoured the Internet looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, method of Word to PASS-PROTECT my flash drives TOGETHER.  I don't mean something that protects just individual files & folders (such as MS Word, Excel & can do).  Or I'm looking for a program that involves having to read page after page of instructions on how to ENCRYPT the drive.  ENCRYPTION is a topic that is really beyond my ability to understand.  I'm sorry.

    Programs like Truecrypt, Axcrypt, etc. are simply much too complicated for me to understand... a lot less!

    My question: are there flash drives available (size 8-16 GB preferably) who have a means of securing the disk with a password?

    The USB key remains in my USB port at ALL times!  I have no other computers here and live alone, so that no one else could access the flash player (or computer).  Otherwise, I would be willing to consider a VERY SIMPLE, EASY to UNDERSTAND AND USE application, either free or something that does not cost me dearly.  (I subsist on a limited monthly disability income).

    Thank you for your time and any recommendations!

    It seems that the solution for you would be to purchase a secure Flash drive.   Security is built-in and it asks for your password when you insert your disc into the computer.   Can't get much simpler than that.  They are a little more expensive, but you pay more for practical reasons.   See the following article:
    'USB Flash Drive Security '.
       <>http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive_security >
    To find one, just Google for "Secure USB flash drive", there are a lot of them out there.

    If you have a non-secure flash drive and do not want to replace, then your easiest option would be a program like Truecrypt which you already have reduced as being too complicated.  Don't let the word"encryption" you scared - it all comes down to "enter a password to access".»  Once established, however, it is almost as simple as only to enter a password so if you can find a computer or a local high school computer nerd literate member of the family who would volunteer to set up for you, then it wouldn't be that hard.

  • ITunes running on a flash drive

    Hello

    I was wondering if it is possible to run iTunes on a flash drive. Because of my security system of universities, I am unable to download the drive to the c: drive computers. Is it possible, using my laptop as a basis, download and install iTunes on a flash drive that I could leave it in my computer in college.

    I would only use iTunes to the music from iTunes, so I'm not necessarily worried not having related photos or songs.

    See you soon,.
    Chris

    # Even if you can (in theory) install the iTunes application on another player, it always puts a number of data and configuration files on the system drive.  If these files are missing iTunes will not work.

  • NORTON ANTI VIRUS WITH HP 8 GB FLASH DRIVE

    I brought flash drive 8 GB hp with free norton anti virus free. I have registersd the form and got the activation code. For the download, I went to norton.com/latestnav as said. I downloaded the application 70 MB but it doesnot installs. The download web page is bad or what. Please guide me.

    Sorry! The Setup file must be 281 MB. Since you have only 70 MB of the file, I think that downloading was interrupted between the two.

  • HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

    Hi all

    I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

    The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

    MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

    This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

    Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

    The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

    Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

    Here's what I already checked or tried:

    • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
    • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
    • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
    • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
    • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
    • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
    • Delete the keys to secure boot
    • Reset secure by default startup keys
    • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

    So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

    I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

    Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

    It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

    It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

    In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

    Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!

    These two mobile workstations have problems of USB port with all the ports on each computer?

    These two mobile workstations have problems of windows 7 where the client has to learn how to use the registry to store external hard drives internal hard drives?

    What does do to be able to back up files on a disk external hard drive internal?

    Have to do to be able to use flash dirves with a 17 mobile workstation z book?

    This problem has been resolved.

    The book of Z 17 HP installed their software: HP Client Security.

    This software prevents the use of external hard drives and flash drives in its default settings.

    Each customer is on their own in discoverinv and the resolution of this problem.

    There is no warning.   He made no information on why a right click on a drive and checking the property do not work.

    The way in which this issue has been resolved was by a clean boot process in msconfig.

    When miscrosoft services were hidden items that remained were read.  Systematically, some were checked and unchecked, and the computer has rebooted to see if the problem was still in existence or if the problem has disappeared.

    Whenever the hard drive or flash drive has been verified.

    We were lucky that we checked to see if it was or not HP software at the beginning.  This problem was caused by the default client security HP who were to refuse all USB connections.

    This consumes a lot of time and was so frustrating.

    On the first book of HP Z 17 thin client HP security biometric authertication failed with a black screen.  The computer is about 15 days old.    All the dirvers for the HP notebook have been uploaded and then the software for biometric devices have been downloaded.  HP determined that it was a hardware failure of the biometric device, when drivers and software downloads together has not fixed the problem.  This computer had / has the same problem with not allowing communication with any external hard drive or flash drive.

    HP did wrong by not providing any information on the inside of this product the HP support assistant.

    Here's a consumer might encounter problems:

    The HP support assistant on Z book provides updates of drivers for windows, but the support phone number book mobile z is not listed.  There is a phone number, but it is a regular support, not z book mobile support or elite support.  Mobile Z book users are supposed to call the number fo elite press and the number is for a regular support on the wizard of book z mobile support.  Support assistant has cat support method and the HP chat support is not trained to book support z mobile.  There is a feature to contact the technical support and the transfer of data to the technician, and again, it goes to regular support who is not trained to support the mobile z book.  If you call the phone number provided some of the choices on the automated line includes desktop, laptop and office work.  If you choose Notepad you won't get z mobile workstation support.  If you choose work center you will get no support of z book mobile workstation.  Instead, you must have someone answer and then ask to be redirect to support elite.  On the first call, you never know that the support you are looking for is elite support until they give you this information on the next contact.

    After many hours spent barely pull on the problems of not being able to view files on an external hard drive or external dirve flash, I was able to change this HP software.  It now unfortunately produces a humming noise when parts of it are displayed.  This has not yet been set.

    It is the customer of HP security information:

    http://www.HP-ProtectTools.com/downloads/PDF/HP_ProtectTools__EnterpriseDeviceAccessManager_Whitepaper.PDF

    There was no information to reconfigure the software in the white paper.

    I was able to find a user guide.

    This guide was not and was not available through the HP support assistant:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02292692.PDF

    Hope this helps all who are unable to view the files on their external hard drives and external flash drives.

    The thin client HP security prevents click right change of ownership and prevent changes, right-click in the security, etc..  Change of Director fails also as the client security administrator HP overides too.

    So end users must change the HP Thin Client Security so that it does not block access to files on external hard drives or flash drives.

  • Satellite L675 - 11 H - cannot access and/or played on USB flash drive files

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L675 - 11H and tried to transfer files from a USB Pendrive on my hard drive from Toshiba. The files were already transferred from my old laptop (HP - XP) on my USB flash drive.

    Unable to access the USB flash drive to any of the USB ports that I connect my new laptop flash drive. What could be the problem here? Thank you for your help or tips!

    Hey Rush,

    Can you post more detailes about this behavior? What happens if you connect your laptop HARD drive, you don't see that Windows installs the drivers for the new USB device or do you have an error message? If you have connected the USB check of Windows disk management if she s recognized there (Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools).

    Have you tried other USB devices such as USB mice? If they don t work too the problem might be connected to the USB ports. In this case, you must delete all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart your laptop. Also the chipset driver update might help.

  • ScanDisk USB Flash Drive problem after upgrade to El Capitan

    After the upgrade to El Capitan, I can't access the vault secure on my USB Cruzer facet flash drive. I have Plug and display files as usual but when I try to open the safe, I get the message ' Scan Disk Secure Access V 2.0 requires San Disk USB Flash Drive. Please insert one. »

    The Flash Player has worked fine before the upgrade to El Capitan and I can still use the files outside of the secure vault but, basically, I cannot now access the secure vault. I'd appreciate any thoughts on how this can be resolved. I only am not an expert so please, keep it pretty simple.

    Sounds like a problem of compatibility with the Secure Access software and the OS X El Capitan of SanDisk.  Try download and install the latest version of Secure Access of SanDisk.

    It seems also be other users having the same problem, you may get better assistance with this through SanDisk.  Someone else said that upgrading to the latest version of Secure Access has solved the problem.

  • I upgraded my Vista Home premium to windows 7 ultimate, shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created until the flash drive is reinserted

    also all the shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created so that the flash disk is reinserted

    Hi subhshy001,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Try this if you do not have

    Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

    If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

    Follow these steps:

    Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

    (1) open: Start Menu ,.
    (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
    (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

    There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

    Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

    OR

    Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

    If the steps above do not work then:

    You can scan your computer for malware.

  • Can I update my computer, download the updates to a flash drive and then install it on my computer when I go?

    Hi all!

    I have 2 updates to download an install on my computer. But the problem is I have a dial-up internet access and the size of the combined file is about 264 MB. At this size, it will take several days to fully downloaded. My average download speed is slower than a snail to 2 KB/s.

    Now my current options are:
    1) download in small sections of every day. That I started to do. about 2 to 5% to 10% or slightly more.
    (2) downloadable on a flash drive using my local library computers. Then come home and install the download on my computer.
    (3) wait 2 weeks until we get the bundled package incudes cable, phone and high speed internet 5 MB download download/800 KB.

    I need 1 update to hopefully help with some problems I am with my computer. From IE7 to IE8 will solve most of these problems if all goes well!

    What do you recommend I do?

    You can.

    For example, here is the download link for the 32-bit version of Vista Service Pack 2 standalone version:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=a4dd31d5-F907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en

    You can download/save it to CD/Flash Drive > take home > install it.

    You will need the KB updates of security number you need to download (from your own scanning system), and you have to get the right to qualify for the operating system (Vista xxxxxxxx).

The secure vault does not open even when you type the correct password. It is supposed to work in both PC and Apple Mac. I don't see much interest to have it if it isn't.

    SanDisk don't seem to not know or even respond to my problem in a direct way.

    Hi Alan,

    Dear member of the community of SanDisk, welcome.

    Don't forget that there are two software, for Windows and Mac.

    Compatibility:
    Software SanDisk SecureAccess is supported by Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS 10.5 and more.

    Use with a Mac requires to download other software.

    And SanDisk SecureAccess software, you must install the USB key.

    The latest version of SanDiskSecureAccessV2, you can download (for free) here:

    http://KB.SanDisk.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2399
             http://KB.SanDisk.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2413

    1-     Download the USB flash drive, at SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win, (if you have a PC).

    1 attention: If you are thus: SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win.exe, go Tools/Folder Options/tab/view/and check the box: Hide file extensions, moreover, you notice, which are also branded the choice: Hide protected files and do not show the hidden files and folders.

    2-     Then, you install the program, password, etc.. And you will have two files:
    2.1-  SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win, (the application).
    2.2-  SanDiskSecureAccess arch, (which is the folder that contains the encrypted files).
    2.3-  If you lose or delete to SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win (2.1), there is no problem, as download others and ready.
    2.4- But if you lose or delete a vault SanDiskSecureAccess (2.2), missed all of the content.
    2.5-  If you change the name, the application (2.1).
    2.6- Do not you can change the name, the folder/Vault (2.2), because the name is generated by the application (2.1), and if change you it, the app opens and will generate a new Vault.
    2.7-  If you can move, too, demand (2.1), an entire folder.
    2.8- You can not move the folder/Vault (2.2). you should leave it to the root of the USB drive, because that is where the course 'find' the application (2.1).

    2.9-  There is an option (in the My Vault toolbar), which generates a backup (for SandiskSecureAccess Vault), on your PC.

    Beware 2: Always make backup content, copy the vault, clone the USB flash drive, etc., then save everything in a "safe place."

    Enjoy!

    Sincerely, Alfred.                                                             (Google translation)
