2 GB on a 20GB HardDrive Yet Shows 2 GB Free

I have a second harddrive, a 40GB WesternDigital, that I
have partitioned into 2 20GB Drives. The first partition
shows 2GB free space, yet selecting properties on all
shown, hidden & system files states that only 2GB are
actually used. Glancing at the disc map through Norton
SystemWorks SpeedDisk, I see that yes, there is about 17-
18GB of the drive being used.

Kinda confused here. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.
 
Stan, try removing Speed Disk and see what WinXP says when you rt click
on the Drive Icon>select Properties.
