I would recommend firstly to defragment your harddrive
with system tools from accessories from the start
programs menu. This will physically separate the used
space from the free space, and all your "stuff" will be
squeezed together on the hard drive instead of being all
spread out. take a look at the analysis after the
defrag. Now the easiest way i know how is to use a
program called partition magic. It is one of the few
that will let you partition your harddrive and let you
keep your data. I still recommend backups, although if
you can just load it back up again, it might be fun just
to try, and learn from what happened and them come back
to this forum and help all those lost souls.

p.s. i really learn a lot from this forum. i just keep
coming back for more :-)
