Eventhough, my hard disk capacity is 160 GB, only 10 GB is allocated to C drive, where all program files are loaded. From Internet, I down loaded many files and some of them automatically got loaded into C drive. Now the C drive is left only 800MB space. Defragmentation is not being performed upto the mark.
Is there a way to increase the disk space of C drive without removing any thing /file from other drives. All other drives are having 40 GB capacity nearly.
Please guide me in solving the problem.

It DOES NOT need to be reformatted. You can go get a program called partition magic, and it will resize them for you with very little error and intervention.

You can use partition magic or partition manager to increase the size of the partition without having to reformat anything. The program allows you resize the C: partition. From now on make sure that when you save anything, change the C: to D: or whatever letter is assigned to the second partition on your drive.

The C Drive needs to be repartitioned. And you have to reformat before you can repartition.
No way around it.
Why not simply avoid putting anything on the C drive?
In my computer, I used two drives, one for system files and installs, and another drive for photos, games, video, audio, etc. Then the C drive doesn't get fragmented like the other drives do.

You can free up some temporary files by using ATF cleaner.

Also, see if there are any programs you can temporarily live without (uninstall something installed on C: and reinstall to another drive.)
Or, you can purchase Partition Magic and use that to resize your partitions. (Careful with that program though.)

If your harddrive is partitioned (meaning divided into sections, or logical drives) then you probabaly have not allotted enough space to driveC. The only way to fix this would be to back up your data, and reformat and partition your harddrive.
