Re: "Access Denied" with encrypted USB device

Without knowing more about the USB device and the encryption software
used, the only thing that comes to mind is if autoplay is set on or off
on the different machines.

Hi,

I am having some problems with encrypted USB devices. On certain XP SP2
machines when I plug in a usb drive with sopftware encryption on it it comes
up with an Access Denied message if you try and open the drive. It maps the
drive to a drive letter but shows as being 0 Bytes in size.

It does this even if you are logged in as a domain admin.

The frustrating thing is that its only on certain machines. They are all
different hardware and there doesnt seem to be any pattern. If I remove the
encryption software then the drives work fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

J
