XP Home Edition usage on a PC with multiple small hard drives

Does anyone have any tips for customizing the installation of XP Home Edition
on an older PC having multiple (3) small (4 GB) hard drives? I'm using my C
drive for the XP files, the D drive for program files, and the E drive for
data. I have the My Documents folders reloacted to the E drive. After
awhile I start getting low disk warnings for my C drive.
Thanks

Truthfully?
Go buy one larger drive. You'll be happier.

Otherwise - all you can hope to do is install the minimum (custom) XP you
can and keep your installs mainly on another drive and your My Documents on
another. Like you described. It won't last, however.
