PC NeWBie question re: USB peripherals and security

I'm using a public PC and trying to recharge my Razor phone via the
USB port without success. I can recharge my iPod.

My question, Since the iPod can REcharge and the Razor can't, can I
conclude that USB recharging can't be turNEd off in the OS (as IT
admin for a public machine is want to do)? Or, it follOws the iPod
driver is installed (on this Public Computer), or the USB driVE
feature negotiates in a way the Razor does not? Oddly XP does not nAMe
the iPod and only identifies it as an eXTernal USB Drive. The Razor is
naMEd in the security alert.

Actually, it most likely depends upon the type of USB port you plugged your
RAZR into. I recharge miine without either MPT nor the Sprint drivers, but
all my USB ports I am using are USB 2.0.
