Strange Hard Drive Problem!

    Well I just got a MBP and I transfered all my music and stuff over from my mac mini to this. It has a 120gb hard drive with capacity of 111.47gb.

    So I estimate that the hard drive is AT MOST 60gb full and there is a whole other 50gb left. But it says there is only 12.75gb left!


    Any ideas lads?

    Cheers.

    Your system will take up another chunk so it will always use up more space than you imagine. How much space did the original (mac mini) system say it was taking up before you transferred it over?

    Well it seems like way to big of a chunk doen't it? I'm not sure how big the harddrive is on the mini but i know that I had about 13gb left on it!

    Hard to know without knowing the size of the data you copied over really. Try an application called What Size to see what things are taking up all the space. Check that you are sure what things are before you delete anything though.

    Also try a quick reboot, go on it'll only take a minute. (clearing temp files)

    Then download Monolingual & get rid of all language files you're not using (READ THE README FILE!)
