Setting the cluster size during the formatting process. This is independent 
of the partition size. partition Magic is able to do all these activities 
and in a very accessible format.

Are we talking about formatting or are we talking about partitioning?
I'm confused over here.


May the peace  of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

Nah.  Format it in Control Panel, computer management, disk management and
choose a cluster size of 64.

Subject: [ddots-l] Can't Reformat with Larger Cluster Size

Hi folks.

On my older XP system, I can't seem to reformat my audio-only drive (250GB
in size) with a larger cluster size.  When I run the format utility from the
context menu, it only displays available sizes up to 4KB.

How can I do this? Do I need to resort to the old command line format?

thanks
Chris
