Ron,
   If this problem is real then there is a great little app called
'filelight' that gives you a physical representation of your hard
drive and will quickly tell you what directories hold all the files.
You can navigate your way down to the directory pretty easily and
quickly. Give it a try. I think it will help.

I really like this little app. 1 picture - 1000 words - 1 Gazillion bytes.

Good luck,
Mark
