At first thinking, I believe your original missing space was probably a 
hidden folder created by windows, either recycle bin data or system 
restore data.
If you couldn't view it on da MAC, there are probably account 
restriction settings somewhere...

Just a guess.
Difficult to know for sure when not there.
