The other day my company enacted new "security" measures into the system. The night before my USB drive worked.
After these "updates" I couldn't access it at work - I get an access denied error when I double click on it in My Computer. Outlook still pulls up the PSTs that are in there so I know the drive is not bad.
The only way I could access it is to network the drive ( //(computer)/e$ ) which is a pain in the ass to do and makes accessing it much slower. Double proof the drive is not bad.
I emailed back and fourth with the people "in charge" of this with no luck.
Well, I decided to back it up and guess what? MY HOME COMPUTER CANNOT ACCESS IT. Access denied. They f-ing killed my drive's access.
What a bunch of assholes - as much as they claim that they didn't do anything, I find it funny how that morning using my work PC at home it was fine, when I connected it at work it was fine, the update went though and BAM it no longer works the way it should.
Edit: After some research some people mentioned deleting the autorun.inf file - which this did fix this issue. The update changed it so I couldn't access it.
