If this is an office computer, the administrator placed restrictions on plugging in external USB devices (HD) so data from the computer cannot be transferred to an external device.

Or log in locally, but that could put the network at risk when logging back in to the domain. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

If you're an Administrator, then use the Group Policy editor and disable it. You don't mention whether you're on a domain or not. You may need to use the Group Policy Management Tool in WS2003. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

You may need that "tool" used to reverse it. I mentioned possibly there was a group policy set. Question: Are you on a domain? If so, the policy is most likely set on the server. If so, the network Administrator would need to remove it. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply.
