I have an external hard drive that I leave at work 75% of the time.

Is there a free way to password protect the whole hard drive to keep anyone from being able to access it no matter what computer tries to open it?

I dont want my boss being able to go through my stuff, but it would be nice to keep other people off of it as well./

Some versions of vista come with the ability to encrypt folders, and there are a ton of free encryption utilities floating around

Yeah, but I actually want to block access to the drive completely, not just alter the view to another user.
