If your second disk partition has a volume label, then that is probably your
hidden file.  When you assign a volume label to a drive, it is stored in the
FAT with the hidden and volume-label bits turned on and with no clusters
assigned to it.  Chkdsk will then report this file as hidden with no bytes
assigned to it.
