As the title states, how do you see what exactly is on your HD? I am curious to find file sizes and location. I have an 80GB HDD and have few to any extra programs installed. No music, no videos, etc. However, I am only showing 38GB available. There must be some huge files hidden somewhere, and I would love to delete them. Is there something built into Leopard, or can I download something from the net to help out? Any help is appreciated.

As for viewing file sizes...

Control-Click (right click) the file in the Finder. Select 'Get Info'.
or
Command-I

For a more dynamic option, try Option-Command-I. When you select different files, the info window will update to the currently selected file.

You can also use SPACE. Just mark the file, and hit the space button and you'll get the quick view info ;)
