Access to Floppy Drive(A: Drive) (W2K)

[umakanth]

Hi,

My Administrator disabled the Access 4 Floppy Drive...Heard that he disabled it from the BIOS settings...Donno exactly...He denied the access mainly to prevent VIRUSes...

Is there any way to enable the Access 4 Floppy Drive...

Hi,

Again, you should contact your Administrator.

Paul,
There again...U misconceived the thngs here...

Actually, there is NAV in all the PCs...And he disabled the access 4 Floppy Drive in almost all the PCs (99%)...If we wanna take any file (or) program to the Home PC, itz will be difficult if he disables the access like this no...

And that too, as NAV is installed in all the PCs, 1st we run the NAV 4 Floppy and then proceed no...

Actually, Paul didn't misconceive anything.

We understand that this is a tough situation for you, but as a rule we won't help anyone circumvent their administrator's security measures. It is unethical, and illegal in many countries.

Many of us here are administrators. So as an administrator to a user I'll tell you that it irritates us when users undo our work. You may not be aware of The Big Picture and why we do something. But I'll also tell you that when user comes to me with a problem with something I've done and has a legitimate complaint I will go out of my way to accomodate them. That's my job. So, explain the situation to your administrator and see what he/she can do for you. The company hires them to make things smooth and efficient for the employees and they should work with you if present the problem to them.
