Already posted this, but I would really appreciate MVP
input -
Because of a system crash, I had to clean install XP
Professional on a system that had been upgraded from ME.
I had left the system as a Fat32 when I upgraded, but
decided to use NTFS when I reformatted. Using the XP CD,
I selected "quick" format, and elected for NTFS file
system. Everything went smoothly, system back up and
running, no apparent issues, until I installed
PartitionMagic 8 - which advises me that the clusters in
the C partition are 512K, while the clusters in an
unallocated section are 4K. I knew this was an issue in
a conversion, but since this was going to be a clean
install I had assumed there was no need to worry about
the cluster size issue. How can I correct this (I am not
afraid to reformat - nothing but program files on drive
now anyway.) System is a Dell 8100 with an 80G HD.
Thanks in advance....
