Is your hard drive in NTFS or FAT32? If its in FAT32 that could be why. It only allows for files 2 trillion bytes large I believe, which is magically 1907.34863 megs. To make it easier some computers go one the 1000 megs=1 gig (its really 1024 megs) for file size shown. Yours may be doing this because 2 trillion bytes is 1.86 gigs. I think if you go to properties it will show you file size and size on disk. Size on disk should be the "real" size.
There are ways to convert to the other format, but they often mess up your data. You may want to get a small hard drive (like 8-10 gigs) and format it as NTFS and try that if you don't feel like reformatting everything you have.
