Cluster sizes


Recommended Posts

My fixed disk layout is this:

Disk 1:

Drive c: 3,38Gb, NTFS, 4Kb clusters

Drive d: 6,15Gb, NTFS, 512 bytes clusters

Disk 2:

Drive e: 4Gb, NTFS, 4Kb clusters.

I?ve tried reconverting drive d: to FAT32, then to 4Kb clusters (had 512 bytes before in NTFS, just like at the present time) and then reconverting to NTFS. It automatically converted the cluster size to 512 bytes again.

Question is: How can I force 4Kb clusters in drive d:?

I?m using PowerQuest PartitionMagic Pro Version 7.0 (Build 283) 10-08-2001 on Windows XP professional - English.

I?d like to avoid formatting the d: drive, because it?s full of stuff (games) that would be a pain to reinstall and patch and stuff. I don?t have much free space on the other drives (full of programs, work and MP3s). Can someone give me any magical expert advice here? Thanks.
