Just put a 100 gb drive in your machine they are really cheap now.

Yep, getting another HD is the easiest way - they are very cheap now If you can't spend anything, you'll only be able to claim small amounts of drive space by uninstalling apps you no longer need, and by running CCleaner to remove some temp files.

Indeed Hard Disks are cheap now. How you run a disk clean up and compressed old files? This usually clears up quite a bit of space.

Right Click C Drive, Click Properties and Click Disk Clean up.

Hi, do you have 2 physical hard drives, or 1 hard drive that is partitioned into 2? If you have the one hard drive that is partitioned into 2 then you should be able to decrease the size of 1 partition and increase the other using software such as PartitionMagic 8.0 or similar. I've used this a lot with Win 2000 & XP and it's pretty reliable. Hope that helps.
