[QUOTE="7aull, post: 329050, member: 27402"] 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- Stu Aull stumped in Alaska [/QUOTE]
