| | Re: low disc space in d drive (recovery Your D: drive is most likely a Recovery Partition set up by your computer manufacturer in order for you to recover your system to a factory default state and even if you made recovery DVDs or CDs should just be left alone. To get rid of the messages go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management, under Storage click Disk Management, right click on your D: drive and select Change drive letter and paths..., click the Remove button, OK the warning confirmation, OK again and close Computer Management. You will no longer see your D: drive in Windows Explorer or Computer, but no harm will be done and the low disk space alerts should stop. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

| | Re: low disc space in d drive (recovery There is a difference between a "Recovery Partition" that the computer manufacturer places on the hard drive with all of the necesary files to revert your computer back to "when 1st purchased" and the Recovery Points created by Vista once a day .....called "system restore" under start you will see Computer in the right hand dark section...right click and select properties...in the box that opens select Systen Protection...there you will see your HD with the latest restore point listed.If you uncheck the drive..all restore points will be deleted...in you recheck the drive restore points will be created again.Click the blue "how much etc etc line for a more detailed explanation... peter "stevox" <stevox@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0C4AFC1E-A5F1-495A-A7A8-F4BEAF1F9C82@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > I have the same problem.

| | Re: low disc space in d drive (recovery I am on Windows Vista and have followed your instructions and nothing changed. The clean up did not free up any space in the Recovery Drive. How could I have filled up that drive?
