Why would you want to use the recovery partition to save files?

Your post wasn't very clear besides. Are you trying to delete files
from the recovery partition so that your can use it for general use? I'd
suggest that before you do anything that could possibly corrupt the
recovery partition, you use the utility provided by your computer
manufacturer to make a DVD Recovery Disk. You'll need to consult with
your computer manual for the correct procedure.

And when you save a file, it should simply be a matter of changing the
current drive in the "Save As" dialog before you click the save button.
You didn't mention which program you are saving from.

Leave the Recovery Partition alone; otherwise you will have nothing to fix
your computer with when it crashes through you stuffing around with it.

The Recovery is NOT there for you to add, delete, or do anything to!

At startup you will have an option to hit an F key to install the Recovery
partition, if need be.

Also, read your manual, the maker's website or ring the computer maker and
ask them how to make Recovery DVDs from that D: Partition
