Maybe you partitioned your drive and didn't know it.
Can't think of anything else since I'm not familiar with vista, but there's probably a rational explanation.
My drive has a couple partitions, but it isn't counted in there. Drive size 298, 11.7 is recovery, 3.6 is Linux swap, 10.5 is for linux.
Leaves 272gb for windows. The 93gb includes the windows folder... I'll check the system save points. It's a brand new computer, though, so it shouldn't have many. Recycle bin takes up to 13 gb... however when I turned it off it didn't give me any additional space.
