So I have two external HDDs and one has music and the other has movies and confidential information. Is there anyway to seta password upon clicking the icon on the desktop w/o having to re-format? Or is there an easier solution that I am missin?
Hide the power cord to the external drive until its ready to be used?
Great answer! Sometimes the non-technical way is best. Remember that the US spent something like $20 million to come up with a pen that would write in space sans gravity and in any position.

The Russians use a pencil.

I agree with the sentiment (in fact, lock up the *drive*), but the example... I love the story as much as the next guy, and man do I love bashing govt. misuse of money, but in this case it's Not really true
Highlights from that:
"Fisher developed his space pen with no NASA funding. The company reportedly invested about $1 million of its own funds in the effort then patented its product and cornered the market as a result."
and
"The Soviet Union also purchased 100 of the Fisher pens, and 1,000 ink cartridges, in February 1969, for use on its Soyuz space flights. Previously, its cosmonauts had been using grease pencils to write in orbit.
Both American astronauts and Soviet/Russian cosmonauts have continued to use these pens"
(bolding mine)
BTW, the main problem with pencils originally (hence why cosmonauts used annoying, inaccurate, smudgy grease pencils) is that tips of lead can break off and float around in little, itty bitty, hazardous pieces

Mea culpa. Thanks for setting the record (and me) straight.

Hah! That's one of my favourite jokes of all time, exactly true or not.
