Getting a portable hard drive to work at school?

Posted on February 10, 2013 | 2 Comments

Im trying to get a portable hard drive to work at school to play games. When i plug it into the usb slot and power it on, it wont let me use it. It detects it as volume and i am unable to use it without administrator rights. Anyway to use the hard drive here still?

    Can’t do anything unless you have admin

    no, the computer is locked down via the administrator account.
    the only way to get to your games is from a bootable live linux cd.
    then you could copy your games from your portable drive to the windows drive, then reboot into windows again and use the games.
