Hey All

so my usb that is out of the box is not working when i place it in my laptop. I try to copy a doc but i get i need admin permission to continue. I tried the USB on another machine and it worked fine i tried another USB on the laptop and i was getting the same error. I also tried the following. ALso can vreate folders in the USB but just not copy anything to it.

1 To take ownership of a file or folder
2 turn off UAC or User Account Control.
3 Enable the Built-in administrator account. Built-in Administrator is a hidden administrator account.


Thank you

Do you have an anti-virus program that restricts the access of USB storage devices on the computer? On our network at work I turned off all access to USB storage devices on the computers to prevent malware and other concerns.

I am logged in as admin
"you do not have permission to save in this location contact the administrator to obtain permission"

Thanks
