On XP, what's the default allocation unit size for a 250GB hard drive
when formatting?

Does default allocation unit size change when the hard drive size
change?

When partitioning and formatting a large drive, always consider. What for,
and how you`re going to use it. If you keep it at 250GB, think how long it
would take to defrag.
Is it gonna be the only drive ?. Is it for backup, and storage ?. A bit of
thought first Pete.
best wishes..OJ
