this happens. Does it have to do with the size of the drive

Also, what is a good FREE Windows newsreader?

Windows leaves that space on a hard drive which has only one
partition in case you ever want to convert the drive from a
basic disk to a dynamic disk. The following article while
written for Windows 2000 also applies to XP.

Unpartitioned Space Remains When Creating a Partition During
Setup

As for your second question, what constitutes a "good"
newsreader depends on who you ask. I've found Outlook Express
to be more than adequate for my needs. I've also used Mozilla
Firefox and found it to be just as good.

Good luck
