You can't. Access to the "physical" drive requires admin privileges or an account that has the SeBackupPrivilege, which normal user accounts do not have.

Why? Because access to the physical drive is a massive security risk. This about the stupidity of your every day user and then add malicious software, a.k.a: viruses, to that mix.
