how much ram do you have and what are sizes of windows ,program files and documents and settings folders.post its sizes also so that i can help

It could be the working of a worm or a virus. Just uncheck on the "Hide operating system files and folders" and then you might see the files which are occupying the files. Also make sure that you are having many incomplete downloads in the download managers. They can sometimes cause this problem too.

Download and install TuneUp Utilities 2008.
Do 1-click maintenence.
It will correct invalid registry entries and clean Junk data and do the defrag !

use some diskspace analyzing software(isnt there?) to find what files are using out hdd space in ur "window$" directory.

-------------------------------

I was also thinking the same thats y i asked u the ram size. btw your docs and settings folder is having too many temporary files under its subdirectories. so delete those temp files

^even moving "My Documents" location to D:\> or someother partiotion can save space
