How can I find out what size my Hard Drive is on my 15inch Macbook Pro.
Its processor speed only says 1.87???THANKS
One way to do this is by looking for the Macintosh HD icon on your desktop like this:
Right click (or CTRL-click if you’re using a single button mouse or a laptop) on the icon and you should see this:
Left click on ‘Get Info.’
The screen that appears next should have a bunch of information about your hard drive, and in the ‘General’ section (you may have to click the triangle to open up the information) you should see this:
The capacity on this computer states 111.47GB which is actually a 120GB hard drive (visit this wikipedia entry for an explanation of why the difference in sizes under the section titled ‘Consumer Confusion). It’s got 27.81GB available and 83.66GB used.

That may have changed in Leopard (don’t have a Tiger machine handy to check) - in Leopard the Finder just shows how much space is available.

You can also open any Finder window and it will tell you the size and remaining space of the parent drive centred at the bottom of the Finder window. Easy!
