StrangleHold explained the gap at the end, and why 250 is not 250 in Windows.

It simply goes over your head there. Besides that even you can install and then reinstall XP on the same drive over and over again and not see any gap while seeing it at other times. The unallocated space isn't always seen showing that convenience of easy installation without fuss is why you see that gap only when looking for it. It's simply due to the way the installer partitions the drive at the time.
MS simply created an explaination rather then revealing the fault with the XP drive tool there. And by the way where was the page for that seen? The ease of resizing the partition for simply filling in the small gap without any problems seen with Windows when changing drive letters or anything else shows that as a simple flaw with the installer itself.
