Default View System Directory

My droid system drive is near full. Is there a way to mount the phone system drive on a win7 PC to view it and find which directories are using so much space in windows explorer or something? My phone is not rooted, I do not want to root it. I'd probably screw it on brick the phone. I'd like to use the program called windirstat on my PC to sort out which directors are taking up so much space. I know the phone only has 256K, but looking a one directory at a time with Astro file manger is sow and painful
suggestions
Thanks

1) It has 256 MB not KB.

2) If you have a lot of calls in your call log, SMS / MMS in your messaging app, or are keeping more than 4 days of email synced in GMail on a high volume account, you'll be eating up a lot of space just for cached items in those apps.

I recommend Call Log backup and SMS Backup and Restore (Pro version also available) to safely archive call logs and SMS and then clear up some memory.

There are a lot of other factors that also go into how much space you have , but you have to realize one crucial thing:

App storage space is independent of ROM (system) space and both are independent of RAM. You ROM (System) storage space should, by default, have not a lot of space available - b/c it is never accessed by programs for any sort of storage.
