Hidden Drive D:

My new laptop came with a drive D: but I am not able to use it. It is a
"recovery console" that I can boot to for restoring my system to the factory
state. The D: drive has 18 gig of free space available and I would like to be
able to use the free space but not wipe out the recovery data. I can see D:
with my virus scanner, CyberScrub and with DOS. A DOS DIR command is how I know
it has 18 gig free space. The problem is I can't see the drive with windows
explorer or my other file utilities. How do I make my D: drive visible to
explorer?

Any help is appreciated.
