BSOD memory.dmp deleted by Windows 7

Hello, I have my Windows 7 system configured to generate Kernel memory dump
files. However, whenever a BSOD occurs, the file is missing upon the next
reboot. In the event log, I see the following message:

The dump file at location: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP was deleted because the
disk volume had less than 25 GB free space.

Is there way to disable this behaviour of Windows? There is about 20GB of
free space on the Windows 7 partition, so there should be enough room for the
dump file.

Thanks,
Rick

Set the following registry value to one, creating the entry if needed:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Control\CrashControl\AlwaysKeepMem oryDump
