   The disk is at or near capacity. You may need to delete some files.

MORE INFORMATION

You can change the DiskSpaceThreshold value to alter the percentage of free disk space available before an alert is logged. The registry parameter is defined as follows: 

   Value: DiskSpaceThreshold     REG_DWORD
   Range: 0 to 99 percent
   Default: 10 percent
   Description: Specifies the percentage of free disk space remaining
                before an alert is sent.
To modify the DiskSpaceThreshold value, perform the following steps.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide 

   problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
   Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
   Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
