Ok, you can consider me to be stupid but i am currently using a laptop which was bought from my school as a program. It has everything on it and all the applications that you basically need. It also has *STORAGE*
My friend told me that I could use BootCamp if i deleted storage, i tried unmounting and erasing but it didn't work.
Then 5 minutes later, I couldn't open up itunes, it would have the 'Unexpectedly Quit' Thing then i couldn't play any videos at all or songs.
I restarted it but then i lost every thing on my account.
i logged onto the admin account and now i have a new one
but i LOST EVERYTHING
Now when i try to add everything back it says i have no room -.-l
What Can I Do?!!!
P.S (My friend made me a admin account)
Help Please

What is this "*STORAGE*", another partition?

What laptop?

Can you restore from a backup such as Time Machine?

Laptop = Mac Os X
By *Storage* i mean the thing like Macintosh HD
however it goes into a sub folder and shows like all your files, it also connects to the school network (its like a cabinet with your files in it)
I think (It said in Disk Utility that it failed to unmount storage so i don't know what's happening)
@seanc I already have all my files on my portable hard drive, however my laptop says i do not have the space ._.
fml
I also don't know what's taking up the space
I don't know where to check either
Please Help
