Typical modern hard drives are in the tens of gigabytes, so it sounds like
yours is more than 99% full. You might want to consider adding another
drive....
But on the couple of systems I've seen that were this full, a huge amaount
of the space turned out to be taken up by old items in the "Temp" folder.
Depending on how your machine was set up, this may be C:\WINDOWS\TEMP.
There is probably stuff in there that you no longer need -- maybe quite a
*lot* of stuff you don't need.
Also, make sure that you empty the recycle bin periodically.
