A suggestion.

Most of the stuff on the C: is either data or free space.
As you would have to have installed hundres of programs to fill up 80 GB's
on C: with program installs.
There is no benefit in having programs installed on a second drive but there
is a great benefit in having the drives partitioned to store data and
backups to the second drive.
Even if you don't partition I would suggest you move your data to the second
drive and continue to install programs on the C: drive.

Windows XP SP1 updated to SP2 with all the backups, restore points, office
2003, 2 100 MB games, 1,000 images with Image software, PDF reader 6, NAV,
AD-ware SE, MSN Messenger 6.2 and all the Windows ad-ons uses 6.5 GB on My
37 GB C: partiton.
