I am using a T61 running the Intel Ready Boost and Vista. I keep getting an error that says "Low Disk Space" on the read boost partition. Is there any way to disable this warning? I am having trouble installing programs because of the low disk space warning, even though there is plenty of space on the actual hard drive.

I can do a registry hack to stop the Low Disk Space warning, but that will do it for all drives.

Thanks

Note: You should make a backup of the registry before you alter it. Click File, click Export, and in the resulting window, make sure All is selected at the bottom. Give the file a name and click Save. This will create a full backup of your Windows registry; if you accidentally hose something, you can go into Windows Safe Mode and restore it. Alternately, you can create a Restore Point before you alter the registry; go to Control Panel, then System and Maintenance, and then System. Click System Protection in the Tasks list. Click the Create... button, and follow the prompts.


now that's out of the way do this to stop the disk checks

turn off the low disk space checks:
1. Using the left side of the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
2. Right-click in the right pane and select New Key.
3. Name the new key Explorer.
4. In the Explorer key, right-click in the right pane and click New DWORD (32-bit) Vaue.
5. Name the DWORD NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
6. Right-click the new DWORD and click Modify.
7. Set the Value Data to 1.
8. Click OK.
