(Intel Mac, OSX 10.5.1) System is an Intel iMac, Core 2 Duo, 250 GB HD, running OSX 10.5.1. Previously my internal drive was almost full (less than 5 GB remaining). For Christmas I got an external 500 GB FW drive and moved all my media files to it. This left me with aprox 200 GB free on my internal. A few days later I noticed that finder said I only had aprox 7 GB free on the internal. During that time I had set a TON of stuff to queue for download in Shakespeer, so I thought that must have been the cluprit. I removed everything from my cue, but it still reported 7 GB free. I used DiskInventoryX to see what the large files were. When it initially opens it also reports the 7 GB free, but when I select the disk and let it run the scan it says only 18.6 GB in use, and there are no large files at all. I've since deleted the download folders that Shakespeer created just to see if that might do something, and it's now at 9.47 GB, but no where near where it should be. Can anyone offer any help? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.79874 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 10:06:02 -0800 1051 FW leopard osx shakespeer drgonzo2k2
