[QUOTE="Mdr1985@aol.com, post: 767123, member: 76764"] Ok here's the story. I bought a Macbook pro from a friend who bought it new in February of 2007. I figured the easiest way to wipe the whole thing clean and start over was to install the leopard operating system and choose the "erase and install" option. All of that went perfectly fine, but I now notice that my hard drive has only 85.53 GB of available space. There is NOTHING on this computer as I just erased it all while installing leopard. I was told this was a 160GB Macbook Pro, but even if I was misinformed and it is in fact a 120GB only having 85GB available seems a bit low (35GB lower than it should be, and potentially 75GB lower than it should be if this is in fact a 160GB computer). There's the story. My question is, does this sound out of the ordinary? How do I find out for sure whether this is a 120 or a 160GB computer, and is it really normal for that to equate to only 85GB or available space? I've tried looking up "about this mac", but all that tells me is the amount of RAM (3GB). Thanks in advance for your help! [/QUOTE]
