No - that is one that *must* be on the drive that gets the initial boot,
as it is used immediately by the initial loader. You could consider
cutting down the space allotted to System Restore, or move the page file
to a different drive (not really a good idea). The most profitable
things though are likely to be moving the Temp Internet Files folder -
Control Panel, Internet Options, click its Settings button, then Move
folder (and cut its size down probably - even 50 MB is generous) and to
move your My Documents. For that open a My Computer window on a
different drive; one on
C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\ to show My Documents, then *right*
drag it across, taking *Move* here
