40 gig ??? that barely covers the main operating system. I just
upgraded from a 160 gig drive to a 250 gig ($60 after rebates and price
reduction). I have a second drive of 100 gig that I will replace with
the 160 that I removed. The 100 gig remaining will go to one of the
external drives. The best way to transfer to another drive is to use
True Image (v10) which has lots of options including creating additional
partions and then cloning your current C drive to the C partition on the
new drive. Because XP PRo keeps all sorts of backups and backups of
backups, your OS drive will do nothing but continue to grow with use.
Hard drive space is very CHEAP now days and its not worth the hassles to
try to keep a small drive open.

My C drive is a 40 gig drive with only 1 gig free! Much of the size is
in the Programs on the drive. (about 6 gig)
Should I buy a larger drive? If so, any recommendations?
If so how do I transfer date from the C to any other drive?
Most of the Programs are still in use so deleting them is not an
option I want to do.
If I were to reinstall some of these programs on another drive would
that work ok or does that cause problems?
I have been using a smaller drive (6 gig) for data backup and I could
install something bigger but still not sure the best way to relieve
the fullness.
Thanks
