Buy a bigger hard drive.

Then use something like Norton Ghost or other similar programs to clone the lot over. Job done.

There are various options here, but honestly the simpliest would be just to buy an extenal harddrive caddie, and then use any old harddrive as your backup, OK you are not going to find a 40gb harddrive lying around but peple throw away 6gb, 10gb, 15gb 20gb and 30gb harddrive all the time, here is an idea of how cheap caddies are

this will show you what the big files are...
you can burn to CDs or DVDS any large files and then delete them off your computer to free up space..
adding another hard drive is another option...they are cheap

SpaceMonger is a tool for keeping track of the free space on your computer. Each file or folder on a given drive is displayed in a box in the main window whose size is a relative comparison to all the other files in your system. The program supports popup info-tips that can display the full filename, the icon, the date, size, and attributes of any file or folder. You can delete files from the right click menu and customize the number of files to be shown as well as the color scheme.
