Re: Disappearing hard disk space

[lovek]

Hi Listers

I have been working with a 7600/G3 with an internal of 1GB and two external
drives attached. The machine has worked faultlessly for over a year but
yesterday I could not print a job due to lack of disk space. With the
minimum number of apps that I need plus OS 9.1 installed I used to have
about 350MB of space on the internal but about 250MB has gone AWOL. The
total of the amount of space each folder occupies plus the spare space does
not add up to anything near IGB. There is nothing lurking on the desktop
that I have not accounted for.
It seems some invisible file(s) has gobbled up the space. I do not want to
take everything off and reinitialise, unless I really have to. Does anyone
have any suggestions as to where I should look or how I can find out where
the hard disk space has gone?
TIA

Nick
Check if Virtual  memory is on, trash the desktopfiles and rebuild 
the desktop, check for any cachefiles ? if you installed OS X and 
then deleted it it left lots of inv files they tell me.
