I want students in a school to be able to use USB solid
state disks, they are currently getting permission errors.

Would allowing 'everyone' to 'load\unload devices' in a
GPO sort this out? What are the implications of giving
students this right?
 
You could use RunAS:

219435 Non Administrator Permissions to Load and Unload Device Drivers
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=219435

You must have the "Load and unload device drivers" privilege to start or
stop
services or drivers. Members of the Power Users group are not granted this
privilege by default. IF you grant this right to users they will be able to
update drivers as well.
