  • If you are using OS X, click on the hard drive and press Apple and the letter "i". It will bring up a screen that tells you how much free space is available on the hard drive.

    You are confusing two seperate devices in your computer. Hard drive is not the same as computer memory.

    Also, on the bottom of any Finder window it'll show how many GBs is available on your HDD. The more you use your Mac the easier it will get to understand how to accomplish things with it.
