I'd like the proper answer to that as well.  I guessed that unformatted 
capacity represents the total amount of data that can be stored on the disk. 
  Formatting added extra information (like an [un]allocated sector/cluster 
map, root directory, boot info and program, etc) that needs to be stored 
somewhere and so comes out of that "unformatted" capacity.
