You need to resize your c: partition. For that you need to have some unallacated space on the hard drive available.

Go to control panel/adminastrative tools/computer management/storage
thats where you well need to make the changes. In windows it's call expand instead of resize.

It's best to save any valuable data on your hard drive before you make any partition changes to them.

Also if you can't get it done that way, the free program partition logic will allow you to resize partitions.
