New iBook G4-
transferred selected files/apps from my iMac via firewire per startup choice when initially booting up iBook (its 1 day old)
Now the iBook's HD is stuffed to all but 700Mb!!
Yeah, I was selective about what to transfer (I thought) - so get this:
I did a "get info" (to check file sizes) on each of the icons the ibook's HD presents when you click it open:
Documents : 1.71 Gigs
Applications: 7.31 Gigs
Utilities: 405 Mb
Applications OS9 - This one the computer couldn't find! (??)
Pictures: 112 Kb
Music: 6Mb
Maureen (this is our Home file, if that is the correct term- is wifey): 2.43 gigs
Total is, what? 11Gigs!
So where did the rest of the 28Gigs go????? Even if I can't get the OS 9
Apps file to open, there is NO WAY it was 28Gigs in size (the original iMac OS9 Apps file is 310 Mb!)
Help!!
How do I unclog all the drive space? And even if I just wipe the drive and start from scratch - how do I get files over from iMac without ending up full again? (and also - why can't I find the contents of the Applications OS9 file?)
Many thanks in advance-
