We are using EWF protected Compact Flash. There are 2 partitions on the CF.
The only the large main partition is EWF protected. Its compressed NTFS.
The OS keeps reporting that the disk is full, but the size calcuations seem
to be based on uncompressed file sizes. The disk really is 75% full.
Unless there are hidden files somewhere. More research might be needed.

Anyway, I'd like to disable the disk full popup message. Can that be done?

Hi Mark,

Have you tried suggestions from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/community/community/tips/xp/popups/default.aspx

Do they work for this case?

Regards,
Slobodan

Or turn off the check in explorer completely:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer],"NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:0

I must admit that NoLowDiskSpaceChecks sound better :-)

Yes, indeed. This is great, thanks.
BTW, the CF is really full. It wasn't lying to us. Now, do we want the
check or not? Gotta think about that.

Hi
I once designed installation program that copied lots of files
to a NTFS compressed FlashDisk (over the network).
When there were meny files on the disk, my software got
the errors 'disk full' when writing to the disk.
When I checked the free disk size (several seconds after the report)
there was lots of free space.
My solution was: When this error, sleep a while (perhaps 10 seconds)
then retry. With this design it it worked.

My theory here is that disk compression is not 'on the fly' but
the written files are stored on some temporary disk area and the
compression is some kind of a background job.

With this theory, disabling pop up messages or turn off checks will not help.
