I once spent several hours at work trying to mount a USB drive to red hat. I'll keep fighting windows for now.
On work machines, it may also be on purpose (IT department having restricted the use of USB storage).
Yeah. If that's not one of the first things IT did when they got hired, then you need a new IT. You seriously can't trust anyone to not plug a random USB into volatile infostructure.
Also, they could do it to prevent theft of their proprietary code and other things that you'd probably need to sign a NDA to even see in the first place.
I don't think so; there was a procedure for it and we had root access. It just didn't work according to the procedure, nor any of the ones I found online. If I remember correctly, it said to mount sda1 and that didn't work. Another different machine worked with sdb0 or 1. Ended up having to plug a laptop in with a network cable and ftp the files.
/dev/sda1 might have been your computers hard disk, with "sda1" in the instructions being an example.
