Why does the partition/disk selection display sometimes display less information?

Depending on the user’s access rights, FreeOTFE may only be able to obtain limited information about the various disk partitions. When this happens, FreeOTFE will fallback to displaying a more restricted set of information (e.g. no partition sizes) Because more information can be displayed if the user is an administrator (or under Windows Vista, the FreeOTFE process has been started with escalated under UAC), it is highly recommended that any partition based volumes are created when logged in as an administrator. (Under Vista, FreeOTFE should be launched by rightclicking on the executable, “FreeOTFE.exe”, and selecting “Run as administrator”.) By displaying additional information, there is less likelihood of creating a volume on the wrong partition.
