You could probaly scale up your C drive using partition magic. Or, if you have XP pro, i think theres a tool in there also... somewhere in MMC maybe?

Though i agree its good practice to leave your C disk as system disk, its risky to make it too small. Almost any piece of software you install will still put files on the system drive, even if the main installation directory of the software is on another disk.
Furthermore many software applications use the C drive for temporary file storage, and your swapfile is located on C by default as well.
It's not good for system stability to have less then 200mb free on your C drive, but when running heavy applications having at least 2GB free might be a good idea.

I remember having a debate about this with the helpdesk of my old laptop. I needed it re-installed but they didnt give me a recovery disk. Instead i had to bring it to their helpdesk, where they'd install the recovery disk for me. However, after recovery there was literally only 250mb free on the C drive, which left me unable to install any extra software! rendering my installation pretty much useless. I spent 2 weeks bitching at them before they finally budged and installed me a full version of partition magic, and resized the disks for me.
