Win2008 Disk Size Vs File & Folder Size

Hello,
Partition Used Space is not matching with size of folders & files. Ex.: The drive properties Used space shows 10.3 GB and All folders & files size shows 11.1 GB including hidden Files & Folders of the same drive. So why there is difference of 800 MB?

OS: Win2008 R2

That looks like one interface shows hardware-gigabytes (/1000/1000/1000) and the other shows software-gigabytes (1024/1024/1024).
