    How do you turn of the Low Disk Space Warning?
    « on: April 03, 2008, 06:43:51 PM »
    I have many data drives for storing recorded TV.  When a data drive gets close to being full, I get the warning Low Disk Space.  How can I turn this off for my data drives as it's annoying?  My recording program recognizes when a drive is low and will switch to a different drive.  I'm using Win XP Pro.

      Thanks.  I went there last night and they had a problem with the server or something.

      Did you get the answer?

      Windows XP

      Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
      Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer.
      If it's not there, create a DWORD value and call it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
      Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, and enter the value 1, and press OK.

      Just in case....

        That fixed it.

        I went there again last night and today and when I typed in "Low Disk Space", I get a "you've encountered and internal error."

        Your link worked.  Thanks again.
