Hi Bern,
Please share system model and Operating system installed.
Ideally on C: drive only Operating system is installed. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, you may shrink and extend the partition of the hard drives. For more information on this, you may refer to link: http://bit.ly/b3OQBr
Please reply for further clarifications.

Hi Bern,
All hard disks contain one or more partitions. Partitions divide the storage space on the hard drive and store files. If one of your partitions is filling up or you want to create a new one or you just want to free up disk space of the large partitions, you can just resize existing hard disk partitions by following the steps provided in link above.
Before you proceed, I will advise you to take a complete backup of your data (pictures, music, applications, videos, documents) as this step might lead to data loss.
Hope it helps.
