There are two new utilities from Apple which come with the new Hard
Disk 20 SC. You should be able to get these utilities from your
authorized Apple dealer.
One is Disk First Aid, a utility which will repair some problems with
HFS volumes, among them loss of free space.
The other is a desk accessory called Find File for searching an HFS volume
for files whose names match a given word.
If your dealer doesn't know where to find these utilities, tell him they
are on AppleLink in the News icon, in the Software Updates folder.
