When space on a MacIntosh hard drive dissappears, it is likely that some part of the the directory structure has been corrupted. This happens frequently on software crashes. The 'Disk First Aid" program which comes on the Utilities 1 disk with every MacIntosh usually will do a good job of recovering the lost space, and appears to seldom, if ever, cause additional damage. You do need to remember to boot your Mac from the Utilities 1 disk before you can do this, however. Paul DeBenedictis Manager, Academic Computing
