Rohos Mini Drive creates protected partitions on USB flash drives

Rohos Mini Drive is a free Windows utility that will let you create a hidden, password-protected and encrypted partition on any USB flash drive. In theory you could use the software on your hard drive as well, but it really comes in handy if you have a tendency to carry sensitive data around on flash drives but also have a habit of accidentally leaving them lying around.

When you plug a drive with a hidden partition into your PC you'll only see the unprotected partition. If you have Rohos installed on your computer you can right click the icon in the system tray to connect the hidden partition. If you're using a guest computer you can execute the "Rohos mini.exe" file in the main partition on your flash drive to enter your password.
