Windows XP Partition is Odd

Ok. Weeks ago, I had a virus which disabled my ability to type

You can see how that is a great problem as I cannot type format C: or get into BIOS because hitting Delete is useless.

Luckily, I took out the drive, put it into a friend's old computer and installed Windows XP on it in the c:/windows directory, writing over the old install and getting a new uncorrupt registry. However, that meant I still had my files and such.

However, I noticed a big problem as I deleting stuff from my 60gb (main) and 40gb (media) hdds.

If you look at the picture below, when I highlight all the items in C:/ it only shows up at 19.2gb (which I can definitely account for and is ok). However, when I right click on C:/ (bottom half of pic), it says that I have used up 32.9gb of space and have only 22.9gb left free... meaning somehow, though windows is reading the 55.8gb (yeah, 60gb is that much heh) it is somehow missing approximately 13gb of it... and that is a fairly large chunk I'd like to have back. I looked at the drive in Partition Magic and it showed up fine and also said that 33gb is used though i dunno where that 13gb came from. Any ideas??
