I'm posting this for Mike Zimmerman, whose site doesn't let him post netnews articles (although he can read them, and of course he can send email). Please reply to his account. ------------------------ cut here --------- First of all thank you to the kind soul who posted for me... our site does not let us.... I have a IIsi and system 7.0. I have an Apple 40 meg drive, *grin* my 2nd in 4 months, and had expnaded into the unused partition with HD Setup. So under 6.0.7 I had ~40.3 megs of space on my drive. After installing 7.0, i noticed the sum of used and available space (fom the Finder windows) was only 39.3 meg. I booted with 6.0.7, 40.3, rebooted with 7.0, 39.3. Whats going on? HD Setup shows the larger partition no matter which system I boot from.... is Apple being pissy and not letting us continue to use that extra space, or do I have to get a 3rd party config file? *I do not recommend any try to expand their drive this way...*grin* disclaimer Please e-mail replies to zimmy@eceugs.ece.ncsu.edu I will try to summarize and send the summary to one of the contributors to post. Thanks in adavnce Mike Zimmerman (zimmy@eceugs.ece.ncsu.edu) ----- | Brian S.

The old finder displayed in K, so you got the 40.3 figure in the form of 40,300 K total space, right? The new finder displays in Megs -- real Megs, not convenience Megs. 40300/1024=39.35546875. Take it from there. --Carl Alexander News Editor, The Active Window cjeff@ghoti.lcs.mit.edu >
