Winxp machines ( master & slave) I have disable the
feature from the Mother Board setup but Win Xp enables it
and makes any additional hard disks ready to take copies
of some confidential data .
and also I need Some help to disable the USP Hard Drives
to be enabled knowing that some of my users using USP
printers

I would be sure that your users only have limited users
privileges. Then as administrator, setup their profiles so
only the printer is supported on USB.
In each users account disable those devices you don't want
to run, this can be done using the device manager.
If you also put locks on the computer cases so that the user
cannot open the case and reset any BIOS jumpers or even
remove your hard drive. You can encrypt files and password
protect them if you are using NTFS file system.
Not sure, but there might be a dummy USB plug that can be
locked in the port or you could have a shop make and install
a plate to cover the USB and other ports, preventing removal
or addition of devices.
You should remove all stand alone printers and have one
networked printer, or the printers should not be on the same
desk with the user only.
