parted and Windows disagree about partition size

My Windows partition was getting a little cramped, so I decided to redo my Linux partition and make it a bit smaller, and make the Windows partition a little bigger. Now I've got everything working, but in Linux with gparted it says my Windows partition is about 50 GB with 5 GB free, but Windows says my partition is only 40 GB with 5 GB free. When I go to my hard drive's properties and add up all the volumes listed under the Volumes tab it comes out about 10 GB short of my hard drive capacity (75 GB, or 80 GB if you're a HD manufacturer). Any ideas?
I like the DARK layout!
