Assuming you're already run Disk Cleanup, you'll need to delete files. Or get a 2nd hard drive. If you know what you're doing, go into control panel/add or remove programs, and get rid of anything you don't use anymore. Old games can take up a fair amount of space.

My computer recently had to reintall windows at the computer store. I got it serviced, and my music and word documents were savbed. I had a bunch of games previously installed, but they dont show up in the program files or anything. Could they be hidden and taking up room?

I absolute DESPISE repaired XP installs. In 99% of the cases I've seen(and i've seen MANY), there are continued problems after the repair. I would recommend backing up everything you want to keep and doing a complete wipe and re-install. On the other hand, hard drives are very cheap right now, you might consider a 100GB drive for less than the cost of a dvd burner..

you think you've got problems? my HD is 114gig and I've just found out I have 50gig missing 
I mean REALLY missing. my computer says the partition is 114gig but whenI select all files in my C drive ot comes to something in the reigon of 60odd gig. It can't be a partition thing because the computer knows the space is there, it just won't let me use it. I thought it might have been some wierd ass defragmentation problem but that didn't help either. I'd reinstall windows to see if that'd help but franklyt I can't be bothered with the hassle.

hmmmm, never thought of that. tried it but unfortunately it's set as 767meg. I decided to check my recycle bin just incase I'd set that to some major size but alas it was fine
