Disk Space "Warning Event Notification"

We are installing a video and audio security capture board on an Windows XP
system with SP 2 installed. The program database is set up to be stored on
the d:\ drive of the system that is not intended for anything but this
database. The hard drive is a 250 Gb drive configured as a dynamic disk.
Currently I have set up the database to take up all but 11.3 Gb of this
disk. However, I still keep getting the following "Warning Event
Notification":

"Disk free space has dropped below the minimum threshold. Free up space on
your hard disk drive by:

1. Backing up your data to a tape backup, ZIP, or network drive.
2. Delete unused files.

If you are unsure which files are safe to move or delete, contact your Help
Desk or consult your software manuals."



Since this drive is only going to be used for the database and nothing else
is there anyway that these notifications can be disabled. Thanks.
 
Hi,

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
3. Go to the Edit menu, and select New - DWORD value.
4. Enter a name of NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, and press Enter.
5. Double-click the new value, set it to 1, and click OK.
6. Close the registry editor.
7. Log off and log on for the change to take effect.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately after making the registry
changes and restarting the system I am still receiving the warning.
