So let me get this straight, you are missing about 1.6 gigs on your harddrive? Well, I am not sure about xp pro, but xp home takes about 1.5 gigs to load on the harddrive. That would be about right though, the operating system does use disk space. Am I even in the same ballpark as you are on your question? Sorry if I missed something.

whenever i reinstall a fresh copy of my OS, i usually delete the old one 1st. then i boot from a diskette then start my installation. in doing so, i'm always sure that i dont leave duplicate useless, space-wasting files...

IF you want boot up windows xp from the disk and choose to delete and format the partition.
Windows XP Pro will take up about 2~ gigs/.

shen type setup.exe to install from the disk it worked for me. but fdisk and format your HDD first and use a clean install.
or even when i first upgraded to xp pro from 98se i booted 98se inserted the xp cd clicked upgrade in the cd options. after the installation of xp the drive still had all my previous settings and ONLY had xp pro which i then had the choice of unninstalling xp in add remove programs
