Quick one for those who know?

My Hard disk on my Powerbook is showing that I have only 2GB free (80GB disk). I have checked the obvious things such as Photos and Music and these are only using 38GB between them.

I understand that I'm not ever going to see the full 80GB capacity but is there a easy way to find out what else is taking up the remaining 42GB?

I have checked the obvious such as the backup directory and that is empty, I don't have many other files i.e. documents being stored.....

Any ideas?

Cheers

I have tried using onyX and it will only work with OSX 10.4 and I am running 10.5.x

Just out of interest, how much disk does the base install of leopard take, including apps?

Thanks for the advice. I have gone through and had a detailed look and it seems as if the OSX Library is the next largest offender at nearly 14GB outside of the music and pictures.

So my conclusuion is after adding all this up is that there is no issues with my hard disk other than I have too much "stuff" and I need to move some pictures and music off on to my external disk.

Is is possible to upgrade the internal disk on a Powerbook G4? I see on the apple web site that they are now doign at 250GB disk for the new powerbook - is this available as an upgrade?
