Drive D shows full .

[jxgarci86]

My backup drive shows to be full. I have an  external backup. How do I get the icon at the bottom of screen to stop coming on,  "full drive d"?

Great instructions, Allan. I would recommend, however, to backup the registry before editing it, in case something goes amiss. Just go to file<export in Regedit and save the backup on the desktop (or wherever.)

I think this is a Win 7 system using a back-up hard drive or what do you mean when you say...

Are these 2 physical backup drives for your system? And you want to use another external drive ? A backup drive can be internal or external. Its just a matter of time for your current backup drive becomes full, so you might wanna check on that first.
