200GB Hard Drive

[DeathHawk]

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me whether its normal for a 200GB Hard Drive to show up as 186Gb after being formatted and just the o/s on it.I deleted a partition (F: DRIVE) awhile ago and i am positive i have lost the 6Gb that the partition held before deletion.I ran CHKDSK and it came up with the following:


*Warning! F parameter not specified. running CHKDSK in read-only mode.
*Missing object id index entry or duplicate object id detected
*Errors found-CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode

Thanks for any help
