I have tried reinstalling, don't work, I ran defrag and stuff.

i had this problem with an ntfs drive in winxp myself, the sum of the folders and files is a few gig less than the drive contents, i think its an mft error that chkdsk doesn't fix. I got back the missing 1.5gb by swapping all the files onto another hardrive, deleting the offending partition with fdisk, re-installing winodws then copying the files back. Its a pain in the arse but unless you want to buy partition magic pro 7.0 and convert to fat32 then back again, there's little else you can do.
