location of xp files

I have just installed XP Pro over Win98. I have 3 hard disks. My problem
is that the boot disk has only about 800Mb free space from a total of 7Gb.
I've moved most of the stuff that I feel confident with but I wonder if
there is a list anywhere of the files that XP doesn't like moving of the
boot disk and what can be moved.

Windows XP system files must remain on the same partition
as the Windows XP operating system. You need to consider
purchasing a larger hard drive in order to solve your dilemma.
