Default Freeing Up Disk Space

Question: We have a computer with a hard drive is portioned into a "C" & a "D" drive. At the moment "C" is basically full & I can't see any way to free up any more space. I've deinstalled unneeded programs, etc. The message "Warning: C drive is low on space, etc." comes up all the time. The machine is running XP Pro. You can't defrag because there's not enough space left, etc.

The "D" partition on the disk has lot's of extra space. I noticed that MS Office takes up about 338 MB on C.

Is it possible to de-install MS Office from C & reinstall it onto D? I know that the default place for programs under Windows is C:\Program Files but can something be elsewhere & work just as well?

Or, better yet, can I just "move" MS Office over to "D" without the de-install / re-install?

Or, is there a way to "re-partition" without loosing any data? Can I increase the size of "C" & decrease "D" correspondingly without risking loosing files?
