    You could try Truecrypt but be careful if you lose your password there in no way back.

    You could also password protect the individual files you store on your usb key.

    +1 On truecrypt, I use it.

    You can either
    1) encrypt the whole usb key or
    2) create an encrypted file container, which you can then mount as a virtual drive. So you can split your usb key into encrypted and non-encrypted sections.
