There is just the bare system and a few files on this set up but it
shows only 5 gigs out of 30 available. Where could the rest of the
storage capacity on the HD be?
Thanks and Best wishes

Hi Edward,
You could try 'WhatSize' (which is free) or OmniDiskSweeper (non-free).
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21149>
WhatSize is a simple tool that allows the user to quickly measure the
size in bytes of a given folder and all subfolders and files within
it. You would be surprised at how many useless files might be laying
around on your hard disks. The files and folders are automatically
sorted by size, with the biggest sizes first.

Another option is using 'Terminal' as described here in Apple
discussions.

Good luck.
