Step 1.
Start with an empty Flash Drive. Download and install TrueCrypt from http://www.truecrypt.org/www.truecrypt.org Click 'create volume' to create a standard TrueCrypt volume. Click 'select device' - choose your USB flash drive, click it, then choose OK.
Step 2.
Click 'next' to see the encryption options (algorithms) you can use, click 'next' to accept the volume size, then enter a password. (Make sure its something easy for you to remember, yet
virtually impossible for others to guess!)
Step 3.
Move your mouse over the 'next dialogue' to set a random starting point for the TrueCrypt encryption, then click 'format' to format the flash drive. (If you have any preexisting data on the flash drive copy it to your hard-drive right now).
Step 4.
To access the Flash Drive click 'select device' in TrueCrypt and chose the flash drive. Select 'mount' enter your password and the Flash Drive will now appear in explorer Click 'dismount' to
remove the drive. You have now password protected (and encrypted) your USB Flash Drive to stop others from accessing your sensitive data.

I use true crypt to encrypt my spare hard drive and back up my main pc with but the only problem I have and hope someone on this thread can help me with.
When I mount the drive and need to do a back up, the windows back up doesnt recognise the hard drive I have encrypted even though windows has and it shows up on the list of drives in "my computer"
