Well, its the problem of many users when they get their Hard disk packed. Don't worry, just follow this simple steps to go through your problem:-

• Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
  
  
• Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer.
  
  
• If it's not there, create a DWORD value and call it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
  
  
• Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, and enter the value 1
  
  
• Press OK.

Thats it, You are done

Try this ...

By removing or hiding the hard drive letter, there will be no drive letter associated to this partition or drive.
Vista will no longer see the partition as anything useful to it and will stop giving you the Low Disk Space warning for only this partition or drive.
