Low space on Recovery

I'm sure everyone is aware of the HP Recovery partitions on the HP computers. I just restored one of my clients laptops from that, and after the restore, Vista keeps saying that there is low disk space on that partition. How can i get this message to go away?

Try this:

If you are comfortable mucking around in the Windows Registry, then you can make this change without TweakUI. Start the REGEDIT program, then follow these steps:

•Navigate down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Policies / Explorer
•If the NoLowDiskSpaceChecks key is not there, right-click to create a new DWORD value with that name.
•Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, enter 1 for the value
•Press OK and exit from REGEDIT
