I try to Ctrl-Alt-Del - Nothing - Cap lock is also frozen, no KYBD functionality

I can, but I can't log in - No KYBD functionality.
I need to boot from a bootable utility so that I can "See" the C Drive and clean it.
Thoughts?

get yourself a copy of the Raid controller drivers.
get them on a stick.
boot either a Windows server DVD or something like Active Boot disk.
When you boot, I believe there will be an f6 entry to load storage drivers. then use the recovery console to remove a few files.
I believe this is also valid with 2012.. I am a big fan of the active boot disk and the data studio suite of tools. But thats not free, and it should not be required for you to accomplish your goal.

Try logging on to a remote machine and connect to this server using a \\servername\c$
Then MOVE few folders out of "documents and settings" to a network location. You may also find few large files in c:\windows and other places (log folders, downloads etc).
Hopefully you will be able to login after this.

Can you boot to Safe Mode with Networking OK?
Any network access?
