do you have a lot of music files and stuff? delete those....or videos...they take up a lot of space.

Wow, I'm really slacking off on these problems. I didn't even notice this post until today.

Anyway, one thing you can try is to delete temporary files, etc, by using the disk cleanup utility. You can do this by opening My Computer, right clicking on C: (I assume that's your Windows drive), and click Properties. It should open to the General tab. Click on the Disk Cleanup button. That may take awhile to start. After it does, you can select what to clear (it will show you how much space is used). Then, just click ok and let it go to work. Ignore the Compress old files, that's another story. Hope this helps. There's probably more that can be done, but we can try to tackle that next time.
