An allocation of 12 % to System Restore on your C partition is over
generous. I would reduce it to 6%.
On the basis that your C partition contains your Windows operating
system you can turn off System Restore on your D, E, and F partitions.

In the Windows Directory of your C partition you will have some
Uninstall folders in your Windows folder typically:
$NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$
These files may be compressed or not compressed. If compressed the text
of the folder name appears in blue characters. If not compressed you can
compress them. Right click on folder and select Properties, General,
Advanced and check the box before Compress contents to save Disk Space.
On the General Tab you can see the amount gained by deducting the size
on disk from the size. Folder compression is only an option on a NTFS
formatted drive / partition.
Try Disk CleanUp for each User Profile to remove Temporary Internet
Files.
Do you have files / folders that might be moved to the other partitions?
To move programmes use Add / Remove Programs in Start, Control Panel,
Add / Remove Programs to uninstall programmes. Create a Programs
Directory on your other partition and reinstall there.
Some other notes you may find useful.
Create a My Documents folder in another partition and copy ( not move )
the contents of My Documents to your new folder. Then delete the files
in your My Documents folder ( if you encounter problems deleting use
Shift + Delete to bypass the Recycle Bin ). You will also need to
change Default File locations in the Microsoft Office programmes you
use. For Word go to Tools, Options, File Locations, highlight Documents,
click on Modify and change file path. For Excel go to Tools, Options,
General and change default file path.
For Temporary Internet Files select Start, Control Panel, Internet
Options, Temporary Internet Files. Settings, Move Folder.
To move the Outlook Express Store Folder select in Outlook Express
Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder, Change.

What tool did you use to create the partitions?
FileSize -a useful tool for use with Windows Explorer when investigating
how disk space is being used.

The download link is not obvious. Click the here in the two sentences of
the web page accessed through the link above.
"I can't count the number of times someone has asked for this. So here
is a module you can install that shows a Folder Size column in
Explorer."
