Windows NT Fails to Check for Low Disk Space (No Admin Alerts)

ID: Q138415

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51

SYMPTOMS

When you run below 10% (default setting) free disk space on any of your hard drives on your computer running Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT fails to notify you with Event 2013 "The C: disk is at or near capacity. You may need to delete some files".

CAUSE

The Windows NT 3.51 SRV.SYS driver drive name calculation algorithm is incorrect, which causes it not to check periodically for the amount of remaining free disk space.

RESOLUTION

This problem has been corrected in the latest Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.
