There's a discrepancy in how windows and disk manufacturers count number of bytes. Windows counts one MB as 1024 KB and disk manufacturers 1MB as 1000KB.
If you run "diskmgmt.msc" in windows you can give that smaller partition a letter and than will see what's on it. There could be some backup or security SW installed by manufacturer.
