Okay,

I have read about this and everyone says the disk is out of space
or the growth is locked.

In the "properties" of a sql server table, it says there are several megs available. (says 7) so I cannot even create a view?
>>Could not allocate space for object '(SYSTEM table id: 3)' in database 'C_Test' >>because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full.

Does the "auto shrink" feature do anything?
could I get rid of any of the db's that come with sql server (pubs,northwind). I am pretty sure they are only useful for testng.

Any other suggestions, this is a new area in administration I haven't had to deal with.

Thanks.

Run this in Query Analyzer:

BACKUP LOG C_Test WITH NO_LOG

If you need to reclaim the disk space, then run DBCC SHRINKDB and/or DBCC SHRINKFILE.

Also, you should the recovery model of this database. Since it is a test database, it should be set to SIMPLE. You can find the recovery model in EM by going to the database and then going to its properties, then to options.
