The space you're looking for doesn't exist, for two reasons:

First, most (all?) hard drive manufacturers define 1gb as 1000mb. In
reality, 1gb is 1024mb. Therefore, a hard drive that is sold as a 320gb
hard drive has only 312.5gb of actual space. Calling it a 320gb hard
drive is a marketing ploy to make it sound larger.

You also lose some of the hard drive capacity to what you might call
overhead; tracking and format information that allows your computer to
store and find stuff on the hard drive.
