precompactor error in vista

hey all,
i was trying to run the precompactor in vista ultimate and got the following
error:

---------------------------
Can't Create File
---------------------------
The pre-compactor utility was unable to create any temporary files in the
root directory. Make sure you are running as a user with full read/write
access to the root directories of all local hard disks before using this
utility.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

And the user i'm logged in as is part of the Administrators group.
any ideas?

thanks,
rodchar

Got the same thing but got around it. Capture PRECOMPACT as ISO in VM, then explore the CD drive.

Right click precompact.exe and Run as Administrator.
