The 60G is based on a decimal quotation for a gig (1G=10^9 bytes).
Windows uses a binary definition: 1G = 2^30 bytes.
60 decimal gigs is 55.8 binary gigs.
There are two hidden partitions - one about 20 meg and the other about 3G - on the drive. The former is the diagnsotic partition and the latter is the restore partition.

55.8-3.xG leaves you with what you see, free.
