Recovery Drive D:

Posted: 04-30-2007, 08:26 AM
My new laptop (running Vista Home Basic) came with a HD partition - 40GB for
"OS C:/" and 10GB for "Recovery D:/". I am looking to make the best use of
this space, but cannot seem to find any way to give myself equivalent
permissions on D: as I have on C:. It seems hardwired into Vista to have
Windows Defender protect D: from alteration w/o that extra step of
confirmation. I can move files there if I make that extra click, but anything
that is ongoing in the background, such as downloading to that folder, is
blocked.

I have tried altering the security permissions, and got an "Access Denied"
error message. I am the only "user" on this computer, so it's not a matter of
someone else granting me admin privileges. It's ridiculous that Windows
should tell me what I can and can't do with my own computer... any
suggestions? Thanks.
