[iBook] Find my missing 7 gigs

[Jay Hill]

There are a number of utilities that allow you to view how much space  
specific files and folders are using quickly and fairly easily.


Here's links to a few: Disk Inventory X: http://www.derlien.com/
WhatSize: http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/
OmniDisk Sweeper:  http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/ 
omnidisksweeper/

I personallyy like Disk Inventory X, but check them all out.

> Free: 8 gigs (according to Finder anyhow)

> Which leaves me 7 gigs unaccounted for, or allowing for formatting
