confused on free space on hard drives server 2008

windows server 2008.
there are 3 partitions
c drive raid 1
d drive raid 1 + 0
g drive single hard drive

c drive and g drive are showing freespace available that doesnt sit right with me.
i have show hidden files checked from folder options.

c drive is 280 gigabytes total size. it has free space of 88.4 gigabytes.
when i calculate the folder and file size on their by hand. its only 90 gigabytes.
its like there is 100 gigabytes being used that i can't find

drive g is same problem

drive g is 931 gigabytes total with 266 gig free space
total size of files and folders is 200 gigs
where is the other 500 gigabytes

all exchange files are on the d drive which is the only one that seems to be showing correct size
