File security on firewire drives

[jofab]

There was an unfortunate incident in the office this week. Someone decided to delete my entire FCP project & folders, flushing down around 60 gigs and 2 weeks worth of work.

Is there a way or a program which will allow me to secure files on the firewire hard drives so that people cannot view or delete them arbitrarily?

i know there are some programs available for windows os.. not quite sure about mac though.. but fyi, i think the one i saw was called folder lock or something.. good luck!

i'm looking for a program like that to secure my data on my ipod photo-- to keep those prying eyes away

If you're using OS X exclusively and your FW drive was formatted using OS X Extended partition, you can perhaps try fiddling around with the folder permissions. Right-click on the folder you want to protect, select get info. You can then set the permissions on the info dialog.

OMG :eek:

Perhaps you can call Christopher Tan of Xylon to retrieve you files.

Dang man. That really sucks. I'd be furious. Was it done on purpose?

How about putting a padlock on your HD
