On my HP laptop, the "Properties" of the D: drive show 2.68GB
used. On a copy of everything on this drive, placed on a Desktop,
the same data is m731 MB. Both computers use Windows XP. The
Laptop is Home Edition, while the desktop is Media Center edition.
Both use NTFS. "Hidden" and system files are shown. Why such a
large difference? I read somewhere that the "Cluster size" of all
NTFS drives is 4096 bytes, so that would not explain the
difference. What am I missing?

Remove "not" for return address.
Just as a guess, there's a system protected & hidden folder at the root
level named "System Volume Information" that contains the restore
points. That folder is typically inaccessible but can contain many
gigabytes of information as configured in:
Right-click "My Computer"->Properties->System Restore Tab.
HTH,
