First off Hi, my first post. Invite courtesy of Apple, after install.



I am not sure, so if someone could explain this I would appreciate it.

on my hard drive I went from 221.63 GB free to only 51 GB free, any ideas? Am I correct in thinking something is not right I have:

iMac G5 please layman terms if anyone cares to explain

    No takers huh?

    On my desktop under the iMac G5 icon, it use to read for info that I had 233.63GB.... 221.63 GB FREE ( I take free to mean available, I really do not know)

    Before Tiger install All software was up to date.

    After install of Tiger it reads

    233.64 GB .... 73GB free

    does this sound normal

    Will this help?

    go to versiontracker and download Omnidisksweeper to figure out what is taking up space.
