A data drive is normally a separate drive which is used just for data and important files. The other, normally "C", drive is used for the operating system, games and less important stuff. The reason of doing this is because if the computer gets a virus it will at the operating making it sometimes unusable but the data drive will be clean and usable.
And as Mark said, delete anything you don't need and any programs. Have you got demo's of programs which have ran out? delete them, etc.
Try and get hold of a copy of Tune-up utilities 2010. It may sound like your downloading another program but it is worth it, it will do all sorts. Defrag your hard drive, "One-Click Maintenance", Clean up your registry all sorts.
