I just bought a 2.0 GB ScanDisk Cruzer Micro (w/U3) and I am trying to figure out how to put a password on this bad boy. Anyone know?

Create an encrypted dmg on the drive, put your files in there.

Doesn't matter. Just use TrueCrypt.

It's free, open source and cross-platform.

There's also a U3 version of TrueCrypt, but I haven't used it: I made my first U3 package | Edward de Leau

Like Turtle says. U3 sucks, there are better, free, cross platform solutions.
