No you cannot physically increase the capacity of a hard drive disk (HDD).
One thing that you can do is to save space on the HDD.
You can delete unnecessary files, transfer important large files to DVDs, remove unnecessary games and programs.
Another thing is to defragment the HDD. Right click one the partition you want to defragment>Properties>Tools>Defragment now...
During defragmentation nothing is deleted.
What is defragmentation?
In the maintenance of file systems, defragmentationis a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the mass storage device used to store files into the smallest number of contiguous regions (fragments). It also attempts to create larger regions of free space using compactionto impede the return of fragmentation. Some defragmentation utilities try to keep smaller files within a single directory together, as they are often accessed in sequence. ~ Wikipedia.
Or you can simply add a new HDD
