Hi, I have just bought an iMac with a 250gb hard disk and i've got surprised when i saw the finder saying that i have just 195gb of hard disk available.

I put in the hard disk just 20gb of files and it's saying that i'm using 60gb of it. I don't know much about the system. So i want to know how much giga bytes the system uses and if the hd comes from apple with space doesn't partitioned.

Thankx
 
Depends upon which system. Also, a 250GB HD, formatted will be far less, likely around 235-240GB. Add in OS at likely 20GB and YOUR 20GB, and that 250 comes down to what you see as 195GB. All seems as it should be. Relax.
 
Empty the trash when that drive is plugged in (as the trashes will not empty always otherwise).
 
now I added a DVD with 4.7gb of files to the system and the finder that was indicating 195gb of disk available started to indicate 185.gb o.O
