They could have just installed a second copy of XP, so all the old stuff is still
on the Drive. Also if they did format, and Formated in Fat 32, then that could cause
missing space because of the way Fat 32 is limited in XP

not deleting the existing partition was my first guess. probably wouldn't know how
to format in fat32?
