It's like finding your "120-watt" amplifier can't deliver more than 50
watts.  There are different ways of measuring things.  Presumably there
are 105 * 2^20 * 8 bits of data recordable on the disk, but since some
of the bits are used for sector sync, addressing, bad-block vectors,
etc. there are only 100 * 2^20 * 8 bits available for you to store your
data in.  Don't worry about it.
