Ive already gotten rid of everthing except spybot search and destroy so I have no spyware unless that just didnt pick it up. I have very little music on here. And from what the pc place has told me before music and photo files dont take up that much space anyhow.

buy a larger hard drive to replace your current hard drive. it will come with software and instructions to allow you to copy your current hard drive info to the new drive and use it as your boot drive (C drive). you could also keep your current hard drive and add an additional hard drive, making your computer have two hard drives.
