Thanks Neil

I was aware of tis method. however. as I understand it this requires setting up a new blank image. I was hoping not to have to copy all the information I have on the flash drive to a somewhere and then copy it back to an encrypted image.

Hi Barry,

One really easy way is just to use an encrypted disc image - all anyone can see is the image file - you just double click it to mount and it asks you
for the password. No password, no mount.

Just use Disk utility to create it.

Cheers



Neil

Is anyone aware of software to lock and prevent the contents of a
flash drive being seen?  I have used "lockngo" with Windows but it
does not work with MAC OS.
