ibook G4- need help with installation/space issues

[ramdog]

I have an ibook G4 and my computer was acting very slow so I re-installed OS X. Although it looks as though everything has been erased (i had a lot of music) a sign comes up everytime I try to put pictures or music (or anything rather) onto my computer telling me my disk space is full, and when I look to find old space remnants i cannot find anything. I no long have the installation disks to try re-wiping out everything and starting all over. What can I do?

First try checking the disk space and configs in Disk Utility! Then repair permissions!

What next?

I have done disk repair, and I have also erased space. It says I am using all 37.1 GB of space available, however I have nothing- no pictures, no music, no saved data downloaded etc. What should I do next?

Did you perhaps do an archive and install, I've never personally done one, but its the only thing that comes to mind.

Can I w/out discs?

I'm not seeing how to do an archive/install w/out the installation disks. How do I do this w/out them?

No.... he's saying if you performed an archive and install in which all your data from the previous Mac OS X is archived and trashed in a folder on your HDD with the new install!
