you can use Partition Magic

otherwise *uninstall* all applications
then reinstall on some other drive.

also move (through the control panel) your page file to another drive

To add a little to what others have said...
You need a minimum of about 5 GB just for Windows XP to allow for updates,
Service Packs etc. 10 GB is a better minimum.
That is just for Windows XP, add accordingly if you are installing anything
or saving any data to C drive.
