    Formatted hard drive still reflecting values in Properties


    I formatted a 500GB hard drive both in Fat32 as well NTFS formats. However, in each case, when I click on Properties, 16.0KB is reflected as Used space and 3.98GB is reflected as Free space. Why is that so? Surely used Space should be reflected as 0.0KB and Free space should be reflected as 500GB?

    :)
