Default Windows XP takes more space in SATA than IDE

Hello everybody, hoe someone could help me.
I installed Win XP SP2 on two PCs, one has a SATA drive partitioned as
C:10GB and D:60GB. The other one has an IDE HDD with the same partitioning.
I installed the system on C on both PCs.
In the one with the IDE drive almost 8GB are left as free space while in the
one with the SATA drive lestan 5GB are ledt (which are not enough for my
applicactions).
Can anybody tell me why may this happend? what am I doing wrong? how can I
solve this??

Regards
e,
