There appear to be some issues with accessing USB pen drives from Student PC’s in the library workrooms. I’ve tested a number of different models of pen drive in the Lvl 5 Training room since the problem was first reported, and none of them will work under a student teaching account. We are working through this issue with Paul in ICTS to try and remedy the problem, but for the time being, if you need a file for a tutorial class, you will be better off putting it somewhere accessible on the network, like the U: drive scratch directory.
If a student requires access to their USB pen drive for study purposes, please direct them to one of the ICTS workrooms, like The Loft, for the time being. The ICTS workrooms are not having this problem.

After some further testing of this problem, it would appear it is localised to just the Teaching PC in the lvl 5 training room in Central Library.
PC’s in the Den, including the Teaching pc, and the rest of Level 2 of Central, and the other pc’s in the Lvl 5 Training Room seem to work fine with USB sticks.
We will get the Lvl 5 Teaching PC fixed as soon as possible.
