    Hi.

    My HP came with an 1TB hdd, but i swapped it for a 500gb hybrid hdd as it was faster, i cloned the original to the new hdd with Acronis, but Acronis has reduced the recovery partition size as small as possible setting off the low disk space warning.

    Is there any way to turn off the low disk space warning, preferably only on the recovery hdd.

    Thanks

    John.

    I could not find "DisableLowDiskSpaceBroadcast" so i had to create it, i am busy copying so i will have to wait to reboot.

    Thanks.

    John.

    EDIT : It does not work, about 15min after rebooting the low disk warning showed up again. :(

    I fixed the problem, i reduced the size of my C:OS partition by 25gb and extended my recovery partition by 25gb so now no size warning. :)

    The Free version of Partition Wizard Home Edition works great.
