First off, go to Control Panel and double click on Folder
Options.
On the View page, make sure you've selected "Show hidden files
and folders".
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
Now go back and open up your C drive.
Hit Ctrl + A to select all.
Hit Alt + Enter to see the properties of all the files on your
C drive.
How much is the total now?

Making the hidden and system files visible should have, at the
very least, made 1 large file, pagefile.sys, and 1 large
folder, System Volume Information, appear. If you have
Hibernation enabled, you should now see hiberfil.sys.
Hiberfil.sys will be equal to the total amount of memory
installed on your system. Pagefile.sys is probably equal to 1.5
times memory. System Volume Information could represent as much
as 12% of your hard drive space.

Empty the Recycle Bin lately?
How about the Temporary Internet Files folder?
Run Disk Cleanup?

Here are a couple of file viewing utilities that will give you
a graphical view of what's on your hard drive:
