I have an external Hard drive which is like a USB. What I want to do, is to make the hard drive ask for password no matter where u connect it. What almost every guide shows is stuff like making container and other things which force you to install truecrypt anywhere u want to access ur files. What if I wanted to encrypt my hard drive, go to school and put it on my friends laptop and show him a video. He needs to have truecrypt inorder for the file to be opened. In order to open the hard drive on another computer which does not have truecrypt installed on it, what should I do? Can truecrypt help me? Ok There is a very imortant question that I have.

Can truecrypt help me?

If you have TrueCrypt allready installed -like me- you can create the volume on the Drive first, and then, in the Truecrypt main window, you can use "Tools -> Traveler Disc Setup" to copy all nessecary files to the drive. AND: you can configure the autorun.inf what to do (Nothing / Run Truecrypt / AutoMount truecrypt container (w/o password)) Doesn't work if the entire Drive is encrypted, only with containers. Hi!
