Well, if it was linux, I'd run fdisk or such and add the rest of the 
drive as another partition. mount it in /etc/fstab as /home/yourname, 
and copy the existing /home/yourname to it.  Then edit /etc/fstab to 
mount it as /home.   And reboot, edit /etc/fstab to mount the old one 
someplace else to make it again accessible, reboot again and clean out 
the old stuff you've copied to the new partition to recover that space. 
But I only own one winders box that only gets pulled out of the truck 
and used for tuning an am radio stations antenna tower, so I can't tell 
you how to do it on winderz. Having your personal stuff separate from 
the os means you can if carefull, reinstall the os w/o losing your 
stuff.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
