hello
i have a G4 mini, and a macbook pro CD.
my mini has been a great little computer for a couple of years now, but recently has been really grinding.
since purchasing my macbook pro, i have moved all of my personal information over to it from my mini, and now want to run it exclusively as a music server for my network and an internet/email machine (for when my macbook is off). i deleted all the programs and files from the mini i would no longer need, and ran the basic maintance scripts. i have moved my iTunes music folder from an external to the mini's HD, which has left the 80GB HD with over 6GB free.
i want to restore the performance i used to get when it was new. how should i go about doing this? is there any programs i can use eg Disk Warrior 4, that will clean it up, or is a fresh format and keep at least 10% free space the better option. this will mean, time to backup and reformat, reupdating OSX, and culling of music, as i don't want to run an external holding my music.
cheers
