Default Where did all my HDD space go?

Hello,

I decided the time has come to ditch Windoze entirely. So I formatted all my hard drives using ext2 and ext3. According to the partitioner 1/3 of all the space is used leaving 2/3 to work with. There is nothing on these drives, they've just been formatted. What could be taking up all the space? I used ext2 on the partitions that will be used for real-time video capture and live recording in my music studio, and ext3 on everything else (editing, ripping a large CD collection to FLAC and OGG, etc} where journaling is desireable. Would I be better off using FAT32 and/or NTFS? They do't seem to hav the capacity loss from what i observed.

Thanks,

Zuvuya
