Full Hard Drive Lenovo Thinkpad Vista - Help

This is asked after searching and not finding a solution, and also in the context that the only dumb question is one you don't ask.

Help please - I have Lenovo Thinkpad running Vista with 160GB HDD. It shows that there is only 65.4GB of free disk space, but I can't find files of folders using this much space. This is a 2nd machine, that I use almost exclusively for web browsing (in place of reading the 'paper) and have about 30GB of music stored on the machine. It is not used for email, or 'work' (as in creating files, storing them, etc - any 'work done on this machine must be transportable so is filed on a removable USB drive)

Where could these 'space hungry' files be, and why can't I see them. Someone suggested they are backups, but how do I find them and manage/delete them.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
