Try analysing the drive with MyDefrag (http://www.mydefrag.com). It will  
show you what file occupies any given part of the disk.

The size of the MFT will of course depend on the amount of files on the  
drive, but can easily be 100 MB or more.

Also, keep in mind that Windows will by default reserve up to an eighth of  
the drive for the MFT to grow into. Not all defraggers distinguish between  
the two parts.
