Theres also an excellent utility on Nonags.com that shows you a visual representation of your disk. This way, you can easily see where all of the space is being taken up.
 
In addition, I have found two things that take up disk space:
 
System Restore (can take up a bit)
And then the most EVIL of all utilities that lots of companies use (UK: Tiny, Gateway, PCs from PCWorld) - Second Chance. This little g1t took up 8Gb of space on a relative's machine! (her disk was only 20Gb anyway lol)....
 
Anyway I will be quiet and give you the link to the utility I mentioned:

This is also available via the Nonags website (scroll down the page to Sequoiaview):
