A question about disk usage

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
