[SOLVED] full hardrive problem

david175 · 04-25-2008, 11:24 AM

I have a C:/ 40gb drive and another smaller one I think is a D:/partition 2.73gb.

the D:/ 2.73gb has startup/boot files, its full( 5-50 mb free) I cant delete anything from it, and when I try to download new stuff/install programs on C:/ drive, it says my disk ( D:/ is full) even though Im downloading/installing onto C:/ which has alot of space.

How can I solve this?

Welcome to TSF.

If you have the page file on the D drive - move it back to the C drive.

Well this seemed to free up about 800 mb on D Drive, but for some reason it went back down to 200mb of free space, and Im still getting full disk errors when I try to install stuff onto Drive C.

Try this:

Open regedit - click Start >> Run >> Type Regedit, press <Enter>.

In the Registry editor - navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/POLICIES/EXPLORER

Create a new DWORD-value named NoLowDiskSpaceChecks and give it the value 1.
