Personal data protection has always been a very important component of IT technology. After all, hardly any user wants his personal information to be available to unfamiliar people. This applies not only to important information, such as work-related information, but also to personal files such as photos or videos. If you want to protect the personal information that you save on disks, you can do this by setting a password, without which it will be impossible to access the information.
Necessary
computer, CryptCD program, disk, Internet access
Instructions
Step 1
Additional software is required to set a password on disks. Download the CryptCD program from the Internet and install it on your computer. Restart your PC if necessary.
Step 2
After restarting your computer, launch the program and carefully study its interface. All basic actions are available in the upper part of the program window, on the toolbar. Insert a blank disc to write files to.
Step 3
After the disc is inserted into the optical drive of your computer, wait until it spins up. If the disc autorun works, close it. In the lower left corner of the program, find the inscription "Create CD / DVD" and click on it with the right mouse button. A line will appear where you will need to set a password. Enter the desired password. It must be at least eight characters long. It is recommended to use a password of letters and numbers at the same time as it is more secure.
Step 4
In the next window, you need to create a disk image. Following the prompts of the program operation wizard, select the necessary files and create a disk image. Then go on. If required, in the next windows enter the desired settings, for example, you can set the drive name or autoplay options.
Step 5
When all the parameters are configured, select "Burn Disc". Be sure to wait for the recording process to complete. The recording time depends on the type, speed of the disc and the storage capacity.
Step 6
Now remove the disc from the optical drive of your computer and then reinsert it. When the disk spins up and autorun starts, a window will open asking you to enter the password. Even if you ignore autorun and try to open the disk in a simple way and access the information, you will still see a dialog box in which you need to enter a password.
