check out this site: 'www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/tune-06.
html'. In order to defragment the hard drive properly, Windows
requires 15% or more of free disk space to move files around, so this may be why you're getting the warnings. You might try cleaning out some files, folders or programs you don't require or moving some of your data to CD/DVD.

Here is Microsoft's Knowledge Base article on the Low Disk Space Notification in XP and how to turn it off.

Have you tried removing any old system restore points? this removes quite a bit of space if you have a few on there
