FAT32 to NTFS

I want to convert a FAT32 system to NTFS. This would be simple, besides the fact that it has a 5.5GB hard drive (relatively old laptop), and is mostly full and I am under the impression that NTFS conversion would take more space than I have available (about 1.75GB)? So can I do this conversion ok?
And also: it runs on Windows XP and it only has 31% of the hard drive free, and it has practically no documents, and no pictures or music files, as well as very few programs. What is taking up all the space on the hard drive then? Just the OS?
 
Simply apply Partition Magic ;)
Don't forget to turn on your System Restore

The used space can be the update resources. As my experience, since I installed Win XP SP1, it needs to be upgraded to SP2 then my HD got full with SP2 files and then SP3 updating files. But I cannot do anything since I need those files and cannot compress my HD somehow. Then I merged C and D, which D was previously extended FAT32 and half full of my personal data files. It works pretty well ;)
