I work for a large corporation. The Windows XP computer I use at work is locked down with restricted access such that I cannot access the C: drive, change the wallpaper, etc... I can access the A:, however, for larger files and for speed, I would prefer to use my USB flash drive. The drive doesn't show up when it is plugged in. Anyone know of a way I can get to it?

Chances are they have it locked out. Security policies and all. Only suggestion is to contact the IT guys and see if they will allow it.

Maybe one of the reasons that you cant access the usb in that computer, check if the computer can read the usb device, if the computer cant read the usb maybe theres some reasons, one of the reasons maybe is that the computer has defect that it cant read the device, try to plug your usb in other usb port of the computer, and if you plug it to the other usb port and the computer can read the divice but cant access the usb, try to go to the control panel and go to Add hardware and the follow the ff. choices for add hardware and after you install it you can now acces your usb.

After gaining access to the admin account, you can simply remove the restrictions.
If you don't have internet access, we need to know what version of XP you use.

just to be on the comparable website, partitioning is a regularly occurring term to describe the approach to make the rigidity into usable partitions. whether that's in effortless terms one or dissimilar. As you first use the rigidity that's a super spinning disk without records what so ever on it. no longer even a record gadget. once you partition it, it is going to ask you what record form ( use NTFS please. fat is constrained to 2GB partitions, FAT32 is 30 or 32GB- i think of ) and then how huge you have the prefer to make it ( 0 to one hundred% or by utilising GB ) seems such as you like one hundred%. So now with a record form, and length it is going to now be usable by utilising the laptop. until eventually that records has been transfered to the disc, is has no longer something for the laptop to renowned as a disk storage gadget. Use despite disk supervisor got here with the rigidity, and partition, and layout the rigidity. Now it is going to likely be advantageous...
