Has anyone enountered this issue on an HP machine (or Dell, I think they do this
too) where WinVista gives a low disk space warning on the recovery partition of the
hard drive? Name brand manufacturers seem to put recovery partitions on hard drives
as the D: drive now instead of giving you the WinVista disks (which is absolutely
useless if your hard drive physically fails = no backup media, but I digress).
On a PC at work one user is constantly getting the low disk space warning on the
D: drive (recovery partition). I'd love to turn this off, but I get "Access Denied"
when I try the methods at

and at
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67600-low-disk-space-warning-vista.html
Anything I'm overlooking? Is there another method with recovery partitions?
