Is there any free space left on the same physical drive with this E partition?
If there is enough free space left, simply apply partition resizing software to help you remove this low disk space problem, like:
http://www.resize-c.com/
NO matter what happens to you, simply back up all partition data well and follow the guidance carefully to add enough space to your E partition.

Have resolved this low disk space problem? If not, just follow this vide tutorial to see whether you can still expend this partition space with the free space of other partitions:

In case of data loss disaster, simply save copies of everything important on another computer drive.

All right! Still receive a low disk space posting? Don't worry! What version of Windows do you use? If it is Windows 7, 8 or higher version, just check whether there is free space on the same physical drive and extend this partition space in Disk Management.
But, if it is Windows XP, you'd better use some partition resizing tools to help you, like:
http://www.partition-magic-server-2003.blogspot.com/2013/11/resize-server-2003-partition-free.html
Or if there is no enough free space left on the same computer drive, just buy another larger drive to instead the original one.
No matter which way is practical for you, just firstly back up all your partition data well.

When your E drive running out of space, you need to expand it to fix the low disk space warning. You can use AOMEI Partition Assistant to allocate free space from other volume to your E drive: http://www.disk-partition.com/resource/free-partition-magic-for-windows7.html

You need to delete items to free up space. Not much else, but maybe run a defrag and disk cleanup.

You might just have too many programs loaded onto it. You should look through the "Add or remove programs" list and see if there are any programs that you do not need to have installed. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for using Fixya!

I included a link to Gateway (although you have an HP) but they seem to have a better way to handle this. Please see the article and instructions.

Where it says Gateway, just replace with HP. It walks you thru creating a restore disk as well, which is pretty similar to HP but of course references different software.

Hope this helps!

Low disk space on recovery d

That is the recovery partition that holds the files to refresh the laptop to it's original state. If you are trying to save files to that partition, you aren't supposed to. If you aren't and explorer is showing low disk space and the computer is running fine, don't worry about it. The C: drive not having space is what will cause problems.

Laptop C partition low disk space

Make sure your hard disk has enough space. Most often when the error massage comes it will tell you how much free space is required to install the game look keenly and know how much space is required then either move all media files mainly video files especially downloaded in the download folder to an alternative partition and only leave windows and installed program on Local Disk C. Other wise if your hard disk capacity is very small then am afraid that you will have to get a bigger hard disk.

Laptop gets hot

An overheating problem will cause the CPU to shut down and if this is not fixed then eventually the CPU will fail. Check the fan to see if it spins freely, also check the heatsink and fan assemble to see if it is clogged with dust, if so loosen the dust and vacuum to remove the dust. If the fan does not spin, then the fan bearing has seized up and the fan needs to be replaced.

A slow computer can be caused by several things.
Insufficient RAM especially if it has 256 Mb or less. - Install more RAM
A virus scanning program is running. - It will speed up after the virus scan has completed.
Two or more applications are running at one time. - Closed unnecessary programs.
Running low on hard disk space - the swap page file space is too low. This can be increased or let Windows adjust the swap page automatically, provided there is sufficient disk space.

You need to do hard disk maintenance at least one a month, Run Disk Cleanup and defrag on the hard disk. This will free up hard disk space by removing old and temporary files that are no longer needed. Please click on this link and follow my instruction on hard disk maintenance ;-
