Windows Vista Drive D Issue

gmat2000 · 03-08-2008, 06:35 PM

I have a Compaq Presario Laptop V6000 with Windows vista. I keep getting this pop up that says Drive D is full. Yet when I go to drive D (7GB) I see two files, one says Recovery and is barely 200 kb and the other is a media file for 100kb. Yet everything is telling that the drive is full. When I click on the recovery file, it gives me a big warning that deleting these files will hamper a recovery. This area of your drive contains drives used for PC recovery. Any ideas on what is in this drive and should I even attempt to delete the files here. Thanks for the input.

Hi gmat2000

I think maybe you can refer to this article on HP website:

Problems Occur after Using Microsoft Backup Tool in Microsoft Vista

Let me know if that works
