USB Pen Drives
Hi all, im looking to buy one of these for my laptop. The thing is my school have just given me a new laptop to go on the network. The thing is, it hasn't got a floppy drive or a cd rom drive and i need to copy some files over from my old laptop to my new one. Anyone know where i can get these cheap?

Re: USB Pen Drives
Remember that the USB port may also be disabled - borrow one if you can 1st...And if it's running NT4 chances are there are no drivers installed anyway

Worth checking to see if the security policy on the laptop restricts usb access !
Do you have admin rights on it ?
