Hello Mike,

I would start by making sure folders/shares like ClientApps are not still
on the C:\ drive. If they are, follow
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310539 to move that share to another
partition.

I would also make sure your Exchange databases are not on the C:\ drive as
well. To check if this is true, go into the Exchange System Manager and
then expand your server. Drill down to your Mailbox Store and go into the
Properties of it. Then go to the databases tab and see what the path is to
your priv1.edb file.

Also, if you have your pagefile on the system partition, it can take up a
fair amount of disk space as well. See how large your pagefile.sys file is,
as you might have to move some/all of it to another partition.
