I receive a warning stating that there is low disk space on the Recovery D: drive. How do I stop this?


Published on 07 February 2008

When you buy a computer with Windows Vista pre-installed the computer manufacturer sometimes keeps a small part of your hard drive separate to hold important installation and recovery files, should you need to reinstall Windows Vista. If you save other files to this part of the hard drive (which is given its own drive letter) then it will fill up quickly, and an error message will be displayed. To prevent this message from showing move all the files that you have saved in this location to your main hard drive, and make sure that you do not save any more files into the recovery drive.

You can just copy and paste the following into a txt file and the save as nolowdiskwarning.reg then merge it to the registry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091
"NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001

I too have a full recovery D disc. I forgot that the recovery disc was already loaded at the factory.A warning notice pops up to remind me of this,and suggests a Disc Clean Up. Frouble is I wwould not recognise the files that should be deleted.
Is obvious that Disc D now contains two recovery programmes I just want the one.
