    Hi,

    I'm trying to understand my disk usage.

    This is my current configuration :

    MacBook with 150Gb
    Used 61.73Gb
    Free 87Gb

    Under Used (Macintosh HD), I see the following Breakdown:

    Applications 5.83Gb
    Library 11.64Gb
    System 3.96Gb
    Users 26.43Gb
    [I ignored Developer, which is small]

    In Users, I see that my Parallels (winxp.hdd) occupies 21.65Gb.

    In Parallels, my C drive in XP shows : Used - 5.92Gb; Free - 25.3Gb

    I have two questions :

    1. The difference between Used (61.73Gb) and the Breakdown above (47.86Gb) is 13.88Gb. What occupies 13.88Gb of space, that's not being "reported" ?

    2. Is the 21.65Gb reported for the winxp.hdd usual/correct ?

    I'd appreciate any comments.

    Thanks.

    Thanks a lot, John.

    This great application shows me that most of my disk usage is accounted for by winxp.hdd, that I had a gigabunch of stuff in my Trash, and that I have 3.6Gb of AIFF files in /Library/Audio :)

    Cheers,

    Howard
