Your hard drive capacity has increase. This is NOT an error.
Helpfull, this. #
So, why exactly are you bothering me with this dialog that I can only Cancel? I’m not going to even start to go into what is wrong with this error message and how it could confuse new computer users. #
Hooray for leased computers and the junky software that is installed on them. #

It’s a pretty stupid error message. No user action is required, and it only ends up causing confusion. There’s actually an interesting post about error messages that was just posted on CodingHorror – http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000786.html.
This error is caused by the Dell OpenManage software. Usually occurs if you plugin an external hard disk when the PC is turned off. I don’t think the software does anything critical, so I removed it, and have been free of this error ever since
In recent times, Dell has improved on the amount of junk it installs (and is nowhere near as bad as HP), though there’s still some way to go.
There’s a good tool called ‘PC Decrapifier’ which helps to get rid of the rubbish in one go, rather than having to go through each uninstall process manually.
