Hi, i have a problem, i want to incrase the clousters size, from 4k to 16k,
but i dont know how and i dont know if is possible
can some one plase tell me.

Why do you want to do that? What special need do you have that compels
you to use 16K clusters? Anyhow, not for me to tell you what to do...

The drive has to be formated to the desired cluster size, that means of
course that all the data on the disk will be lost. Use the format
utility at the Command Prompt:

FORMAT <drive>: /FS:NTFS /A:<clustersize>

format d: /FS:NTFS /A:16k

Do format /? for more help.

Unless you have a really special need formating to 16k clusters is a
really bad idea.
