Re: Hard Drive Capacity

[S Beach]

Hi John

I use a free utility called "Disk Inventory X" to help find space guzzling
files. You can find it here http://www.derlien.com - you can see a link to a
quick intro video on the home page.

I have used Linux and windows versions in the past as well - very handy.

Regards

Shayne Beach

Re: Hard Drive Capacity

[Roger Kortas]

how long is a piece of string?

When you download files they are normally compressed so when you install them 
they will be much larger.

You may also have a log file that is growing in size so may be worth doing a 
search for all new files in the last two weeks and see what sizes they are.
