Try Windirstat:

It gives an overview of what is in your hard drive. Just don't delete anything if you don't know what it is.

Also look at how much room your video/music/documents folders are holding. Also go into control panel and un-install programs and it will show you how much software you are using, over a long period of time people seem to have more software then they remember installing, plus low end 3rd party software will slow down your computer due to its poor design.
When was the last time you ran a disc clean up and a defrag, I just ran a disc clean up on my Mom's computer and she had not done one in like 3 year on here HP, the total of crap removed was 9 GB of garabage.
