When you buy a computer with Windows Vista pre-installed the computer manufacturer sometimes keeps a small part of your hard drive separate to hold important installation and recovery files, should you need to reinstall Windows Vista. If you save other files to this part of the hard drive (which is given its own drive letter) then it will fill up quickly, and an error message will be displayed. To prevent this message from showing move all the files that you have saved in this location to your main hard drive, and make sure that you do not save any more files into the recovery drive.
