Solve : External Hard Drive - Password protection?

1.	Solve : External Hard Drive - Password protection?
Answer» I have a Seagate Expansion external hard drive unit I need to put a PASSWORD on, but there are some issues with this..... the hard drive is being sent to someone else who is not computer SAVVY (I'm not either, but more than they are) I have Win8.1, they have Win Vista....whatever is used has to work on both. Whatever METHOD is used has to be super simple and very easy to use, especially for the other person. I don't CARE if it's putting a password on a folder or the WHOLE drive, as long as it's simple and easy to do. *It's got to be FREE, as this is the only instance I have ever needed to put a password on anything, so I don't want to spend money on a program I will only use once. Is there a way to do this? So far, all of the information I've gotten is for specific Windows systems only, or way to complicated to use. Thanks
