Defragmenting Windows 2000 NTFS Volumes with Cluster Sizes larger than 4kb

's Computer Specifications

Is there any way around this limitation short of upgrading
to Windows XP/2003?

No. Microsoft's defrag APIs under Win2k do not support defragmenting NTFS
drives with a cluster size greater than 4k.
