[QUOTE="SFLonghorn, post: 1579046, member: 324806"] I have a 3 year old 27" iMac desktop. The hard drive was replaced at an Apple Store due to a recall quite awhile ago. I'm trying to figure out the size of the hard drive they put in. When I go into "About This Mac" the hard drive is listed as 999GB. When I go into Finder, I see Macintosh HD with 999GB Capacity. However, I also see another "Drive" ("disk image" ??) with a listed capacity of 2TB. I don't understand the difference. Is the drive partitioned? How much capacity do I really have? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm confused. I think I attached a screenshot to help answer my question. Thanks in advance. [ATTACH=full]20427[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
