Vista and Hard Drives

For some odd reason Vista decided that my D drive should be read only, and whenever I change it, it reverts to read only right afterwards. I have the permission to do it, but it automatically changes back. What gives?

    Oh God, I had this problem. I can't remember how I fixed it though. :P

    I'll get back to you once I remember how I fixed it.


    I'm guessing that D "drive" is actually just a smaller partition of the main hard drive?

    No, it's another drive.

    Is that a SATA drive, lawinator? And what's your model motherboard?

    Go into system management and take a screenshot of the drive info.
