This does not appear to be a programming question. This is a programming Q&A forum, not IT.

Google is your friend for asking these questions: how to password protect a usb hard drive[^]

The only solution I know is to encrypt the drive. Then only those having the decryption key / password can access the drive.

Instead of writing your own tools use existing ones. You can buy drives that have built-in encryption or use an encrypting software like VeraCrypt - Home[^]). Such software usually provides portable versions which can be stored on not encrypted parts of the drive and started from there.
