How do I add another hard drive to my computer's system restore function?
My computer has a small SSD that automatically backs up due to Windows 7's system restore function (it creates a save point). However, most of my stuff is on my D: drive, and I would like the computer to start creating save points through system restore so that, if I need to, I can automatically restore the stuff on my D: drive from an earlier state. How do I do this? Also, not sure if it matters, but my C: does not create restore points as often as it should. Its supposed to do it every time upon start up, but I've noticed it only does it when Windows updates or something like that. So I want to create REAL daily restore points, not pseudo-daily ones like the computer has been creating.

Sometimes installing a program or driver can make Windows run slowly or unpredictably. System Restore can return your PC's system files and programs to a time when everything was working fine, potentially preventing hours of troubleshooting headaches. It won't affect your documents, pictures, or other data.
They keyword being PC's "system files", System restore has no function to back up your data and therefore has no need for the D:\. There is no way to configure system restore to backup data it is used to restore system files.
System Restore helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. It's a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e‑mail, documents, or photos.
