The only thing I can think of is to encrypt the files
before storing them on the portable drive. Then of course
after you copy them to the target machine you need to
reverse the process.....
There are free file encryption tools available on the
internet such as kgb etc.... try to google for "kgb
encryption", it's a pretty good one.
