    I think one is the used space when you take care of sectors used and the second no.

    1 sector = 512 byte by default (i'm not sure but i think it's that) You can modify this value when you format a drive

    When a sector is a bit used, (ex 12 bytes is used in), you can't use it an other time.
    500 byte could be empty, but this space is wasted.

    Windows can give 2 kinds of used space

    You dont have to reformat...

    Run Disk Defragmentor, Spyware, Malware, AntiVirus Scans, Disk Cleanup, Remove stuff + programs you dont need etc.
