I just can't cope with the lack of space.
I have deleted thousands of photos and a third of my iTunes library
as well
as all my movies. (keeping full copies of iphoto and itunes on the
family
iMac)
I still only have 5GB of free space.
Please can anyone advise: is it possible to install a larger HD?
If so, rough costs?
I had this sort of problem once, then I realised I hadn't emptied the
trash.
Just a thought.
Cheers, Paul.
Pursuing that line of thought ,
when using OS9.1 , with the Internal HD & some external hard drives ,
sometimes you need to " rebuild the desktop " to RECOVER the
free space
back into the index .
MAC OSX is supposed to not require that ,
but where dual boot is used
I have seen some funny results that were cleared up by
" Rebuilding the Desktop " while running OS 9xxx.
However ,
Looking at Rod's first mail , it seems that he has heaps of stuff he
wants to keep
on the laptop , far more than the normal Hard Drive size , thus
generating his call for
a bigger drive
