You could create a new filegroup with file(s) to another physical disk and move all you non-clustering indexes overthere.

That the tradeoff with indexes !

With SQL2005 you have DMV s avaliable to figure out which indexes are actually used and which are not !

Remove redundant indexes and figure out an acceptable middle way for you indexes.

You also need to figure out fragmentation for you indexes !

Do you rebuild you indexes on a regular basis ?

How many indexes do you have?

Are you sure there are no redundant indexes?

Are they all been used?

check your index widths too, depending on the columns included indexes can be quite large
