[QUOTE="ranion, post: 403325, member: 31865"] Thanks for all the help. I didn't realize whatsize was only calculating info for the current user. When I tally the remaining files in the application and library folders I get almost 150 gigs total... with most of the vanishing 20 gigs taken up by garageband and some iLife stuff. One more question - the iMac i purchased lists the hard drive space as 160, yet the finder says the max capacity is 150. Is this a normal difference or might something else be going on? I ran carbon copy earlier and got an error message when I tried to create a backup, so I'm just trying to rule out that it did something bad. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
