Not actually a program but maybe you could try this.
Go to Start>Search and just enter a space in the search criteria and select the drive. Then just sort the results by file size.
Not entirely sure if that would help but yeah.

I found these two:
- TreeSize Free
- ExplorerXP
Edit: I've just tried ExplorerXP and it's pretty good

WinDirStat will show you this. You tell it which volumes or folders to scan, and when it's done, it shows you it all the files graphically, as well as a folder tree, with sizes, percentages and a bar graph. It is cost free and licensed under GNU GPL 2.
Update:
Changed screenshot to a more conservative one.

It does, but it is fiendishly slow and inefficient. WinDirStat (and I assume TreeSize Free) will scan the size fo everything once, and once it is done, you can check the usage for each file or folder very easily, and it is also shown as a graph.
