Any limits on how many flash drives you can use in xp, Vista, W7?

Another words, if you have a lot of flash drives, will xp, Vista,
W7complain about to much hardware?

The limitation is the number of available driive letters.

The limit is set by the number of ports available (not the number
of devices.)

When configured for N ports, these OS are not configured to
complain too many are configured. (When equipped with a
SCSI host and drivers, these OS can handle an unlimited
number of external devices, as many as can be physically
connected.)

You can map flash drives to directories if you run out of drive letters.

USB is limited to 127 devices per root hub or controller, I think.

Other consideration is power. You may need to use powered hubs.

If you still need more you can add USB cards, but once you run out of
expansion slots you might not be able to add anymore USB devices. I think
that's about the limit.

When configured for N ports, these OS are not configured to
complain too many are configured. (When equipped with a
SCSI host and drivers, these OS can handle an unlimited
number of external devices, as many as can be physically
connected, cf. daisy chain.)

The permissions message suggests to me that malware has taken control..
I could be wrong, of course. Burn BitDefender, or another program
listed at the link below, to a CD (using a working machine) and test the
infected machine with it. BitDefender also has a Rootkit checker on the
Linux Desktop; run it if you think that's the problem:

Download the executable rather than the .iso image, if one is
available.. it prompts you to insert a CD and burns the file, no problem.

Then run these:

If you're trying to store your porn, I suggest DVD-RWs.

Why RW?

So you can erase them if the FBI is coming?

I think there was no more logic in Justin's choice of RW than there was in
his decision to post what he did...

But how do you contain the unpleasant and perhaps dangerous stench of
microwaved discs?

Umm, I think you must have hit the minute plus button instead of 10
