| | Re: problem with "d" drive You have a Dell, I presume. The Recovery D drive is a special drive that Dell has set up on your PC to put your PC back into the 'Factory Delivered' state, making it like the first time you booted it up. 'Recovery' might sound like you should back up files there, but you should not write to that drive at all. Somehow, you are creating files on that drive. If you want to back up files to a drive other than 'C', I suggest an external USB drive - they're pretty cheap and are very good for backup. You can even set up Vista to automatically backup files on a regular schedule. It's on the Dell Welcome screen.
