The district has logo'd flash drives for sale from McDonald & Associates, and before we bought a bunch we made sure we would not need to do anything to make them run on XP without problem. Of course, without problem became a problem on machines with either 2 hard drive partitions or 2 optical drives, so we had to work on changing some drive letters around. It wasn't a big problem, but affected a couple of computer labs. We have not done anything to support them on Windows 98 machines. (Yes, we still have those too!!!) Anyway, when students or staff can get them to work, great. When they can't, that is not something we will spend any time trying to fix for them.

I would like to know how other Tech Coordinators are dealing with USB drives on locked down systems. There are so many different USB thumb drives out there and some will not work on a locked down system because students are not allowed to load software. Any body got a solution???
