Sure it's blank, not unmovable system files or anything?
Perhaps the pagefile reserves some space? I wouldn't know otherwise

Try filling the drive untill it's 100% full (download pr0n or something), see if it gets used.

NTFS reserves space for the page file and system files to expand. Dont worry about it.

Some of its for system restore and recycle bin, and hibernation if its enabled. Try reducing the amout of space for restore and recycle bin. I always do that if I reinstall windows, cause if you have a 200Gb drive, recycle bin reserved 10% of that which is 20GB. :eek:
