Hi,

I currently have a file server with 4*120Gb drives used purely for storage.

Every time I reboot I get the 'your drives are full, do you want to clean them up' type message (choosing yes brings up the disk cleanup utility).

They are archive drives and are therefore meant to be full. I know there is a way to tell XP to stop looking at these drives but I can't for the life of me remember where the option is located.

Anyone know ??

Cheers
RB

Ok,

Never mind.

It is a registry hack that is needed to turn off this 'feature'.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer NoLowDiskSpaceChecks REG_DWORD 1
