Password Protecting My 'F' Drive

I'm interested in password protecting my F drive and wonder if that's possible and if so how do I go about doing so.
I share a computer and am not comfortable with how responsible the other person is and there is some sensitive information stored on that drive.
How do I make it so that in order to access the drive one will need to know have a password?
If there is a tutorial on this subject just steer me to it. I just didn't see one.

Regards
Len

You can password protect files and folders but it's a PITA.
This may help by disabling file sharing on a workgroup.
Good luck.

Have a look at MyLockBox

Basically how it works is you create a Lock Box folder on the external drive and keep your personal and sensitive documents, files in there.

ps you are not limited to just creating a lockbox folder on an external drive, you can create them anywhere you like.
