Low disk space on HP Pavillion dv6000

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
In the bottom right corner, a message keeps popping up saying " Low disk space on hard drive D" and the hp total care advisor says I have 5% free space on drive C.

Please help, My laptop is only 2 years old. I tried running disk defragmenter, disk cleanup, and I uninstalled a bunch of programs I dont use anymore. None of them helped with this error. How do I fix this problem?

If you are sure that you have plenty of space left, you can tweak the registry to remove the nagging warning.

. BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR REGITRY FIRST

. DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK

#
Click on Start, type the following command in the search box, and then hit the Enter key.

regedit

This command will load the Registry Editor program.

Note: Changes to the registry are made in these steps. Take great care in making only the changes described below.

#
Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder under Computer and click on the (+) sign next the folder name to expand the folder.

#
Continue to expand folders until you reach the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion registry key.

#
Select the Policies key under CurrentVersion.

#
From the Registry Editor menu, choose Edit, followed by New, followed finally by Key.

#
After the key is created beneath Policies, it will initially be named New Key #1.

Change the name of the key to Explorer by typing it exactly as shown and then hitting the Enter key.

#
With the new key, Explorer, still selected, choose Edit, followed by New, followed finally by DWORD (32-bit) Value.

#
After the DWORD is created beneath Explorer, it will initially be named New Value #1.

Change the name of the DWORD to NoLowDiskSpaceChecks by typing it exactly as shown and then hitting the Enter key.

#
Right-click on the new NoLowDiskSpaceChecks DWORD you just created and choose Modify.

#
In the Value data: field, replace the zero with the number 1.

#
Click OK and close Registry Editor.

cheers ...
