Hi,
it would have helped if you had given some idea whether the problem is of recent origin or has been there for a while
also the exact wordings of the error msg??
normally EITHER <<<Hard Disk is Low on Disk Space>>>> OR <<< You are running out of disk space on drive C. To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Cleanup.>>>>
sometimes exact wordings help.
having said this, and risking " too many questions...no answers"
(1) win 98 and se versions have been noted to NOT correctly read the correct hdd size.
(2) i am fairly certain this is the case with your problem since according to you there is nearly 33% of free disk space which is very large indeed.
(3)click start/run/(type) regedit/ok.
(4)navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\FileSystem.
(5)on the right hand pane see if you have an entry under "name"
<<<DisableLowDiskSpaceBroadcast>>>>
(6)if YES double click on it and see if you get a "decimal box".
(7)see if the box is " checked" and also note down the value if any.
(8) DO NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER EXCEPT RECOLLAPSING THE REG. EDITOR AND EXITING.
(9) once your input on (5) & (7) is received i am sure you will get further inputs from list members to edit the registry entry and hopefully solve the problem
HTH and dood luck----Venkat
