Something to try first:
If you have been rigorously applying Windows updates a huge amount of the space could be taken up with the uninstall files for all the updates. Try http://www.tech-pro.net/windows-update-remover.html - I remove anything older than 1 month on the basis that if I haven't needed to uninstall it by then it's unlikely I ever will.
Have you identified what you want to move?

If you have Windows Vista or 7 you can use Windows Disk Management to:
This gives you a bigger C: drive so you don't have to worry.
- Shrink your 😧 drive (I'm assuming you meant you have one)
- Create a new partition at the end of the disc
- Copy the contents of your 😧 drive to the new partition
- Delete the 😧 drive
- Expand the C: drive into the space created
This gives you a bigger C: drive so you don't have to worry.

But make sure that you have all your documents and data backed up first

It's always a wise precaution to have everything backed-up but I have never experienced a problem with Windows Disc Management, except that it sometimes isn't prepared to shrink a partition very much. On the other hand, I have sometimes had problems with other disc repartitioning software.
