    I mean it’s probably a similar amount of time and effort trying to fix Windows than it is learning to use Linux.

      I once spent several hours at work trying to mount a USB drive to red hat. I’ll keep fighting windows for now.

        I spent many years trying to fix Windows before moving…

        Just got tired of fixing the same bullshit over and over in this cat and mouse game trying to gain control of my computer.

          Yeah. If that’s not one of the first things IT did when they got hired, then you need a new IT. You seriously can’t trust anyone to not plug a random USB into volatile infostructure.

          Also, they could do it to prevent theft of their proprietary code and other things that you’d probably need to sign a NDA to even see in the first place.

          I don’t think so; there was a procedure for it and we had root access. It just didn’t work according to the procedure, nor any of the ones I found online. If I remember correctly, it said to mount sda1 and that didn’t work. Another different machine worked with sdb0 or 1. Ended up having to plug a laptop in with a network cable and ftp the files.
