Sounds like your using FAT32 for your filesystem and not NTFS, encryption will only work on NTFS. You will need to convert the filesystem to NTFS.

http://aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.php outlines the process. Once you convert to NTFS, you can set a password security by going to the properties of the folder and adding or denying access to the folder. If you have any further issues, please post back.
