Let me guess: half is devoted to Windoze because it places its
master file table smack in the middle of the disk so you can't
shrink the partition any smaller.  Download the demo version of
PerfectDisk; it can move the MFT.  Lather, rinse, repeat until
you've chased Windows into an insignificant corner of your disk.
The laptop I'm posting this from has a 250GB hard drive; the Win7
installation it came with only takes up 45GB now.
