Default missing hard disk space....

Hi I have a user who has a 20gb hdd.. (around 19.++ in reality)
After installing WINXP and going to Disk Management the total space is
about 18GB.

I want to know where the 1gb hdd went. Does the machine use this 1gb
for cfg settings? mbr?

thanks in advance
poch
