It may not be an overlay - if the drive was originally partitioned with
Windows (during setup or with Disk Management), it reserves at least 1 MB
free (I've usually seen 8 MB) on the disk right at the end -- so it can be
upgraded from a basic to a dynamic disk. This must be done to use Windows'
software RAID/JBOD capability.
I don't think Windows' own tools will even show that there's empty space.
