You shouldn't just disable the warning. That's kind of like covering up the "service engine" light on your car's dashboard. Sure, it will hide the error message, but eventually the underlying problem will resurface. As pointed out in suatcini's second link, the underlying problem could cause you to "...lose data, possibly everything, on the hard drive if you run out of space on it." Definitely pay attention to this warning. Don't just suppress it.

In this case, the underlying problem is - gasp! - your drive is full or nearly full. That's the problem you need to fix. Here's some - gasp! - useful suggestions for dealing with that.

1. Delete unnecessary files using Vista's built-in Disk Cleanup utility.

2. Use Spacemonger to find folders or files that take up too much space

3. Possbily free up many gigabytes of disk space by installing Vista SP2

Disk Cleanup--This tool allows you to clean up compressed and unnecessary files collected during Windows operations. Windows has deemed these files safe to delete. This files can be anything from your temporary internet files to programs no longer in use.

HOW TO:

1. Click Start
2. Programs
3. Accessories
4. System Tools
5. Click Disk Cleanup.

Also reduce the space needed for your system restore. Or delete old restore points.
