    Hello people!

    Today the most strange thing happened. I was copying a dvd image with DVD2OneX and I forgot to give the path for it. So instead of using my external hard disk it used my powerbooks internal disk. Powerbook has 6gb free. The weird thing is that the dvd image was 4gb but I ended up with 230MB free on my hard disk and no dvd image. At one point I just cancelled the operation.
    I've tried everything to get the free space back but nothing really worked. Used Cocktail to delete swap space etc but nothing. Programs for invisible files didn't show a file that was greater than 1GB. So I really don't know what to do next.
    Any ideas???

    It might be invisible files smaller than 1GB?

    Have you searched for invisible files created/modified within 2 days?
