Do you have free space in another partition? Have you considered purchasing a larger hard drive and cloning your old drive to it?

You might be able to free up 20-30% of your hard drive space by compressing the files on the hard drive. XP comes with per-file compression which works well.

First , you should do a proper clean . Try TuneUp utilities or CCleaner. Personally I recommend CCleaner.

And if your PC runs slow, then go to start>msconfig and disable some services and startup processes...
Yes, I agree with PhilFrisbie on compressing the drive.
And you can also lower the amount of your page file, depending on it's current size...

Try to use Easeus partition software. It can help you to resize/move, copy, create, delete, format, hide, your hard disk drive partitions. This is very helpful in partitioning hard disk without formatting it.

Or better yet, move the page file to another drive.
