Will someone tell me where to look to find out why my NTFS partitions

4k clusters.

Or was I just thinking that for no reason?


Well, it does not depend on the Linux boot disk.  It depends on which
OS you are installing (winxp/ws2k3 good, win2k bad) and which version
of format.exe you have in Z:\dosbin.

Aha. I moved from 3.5 (.6?) to the linux bootdisk. I think it was about that time that I read the thing about the updated freedos format command, and the two blurred in my mind.


See "Is FAT -> NTFS conversion a bad idea?" in
<http://unattended.sourceforge.net/faq.html#ntfs>, then ask again if
you still have trouble.

Yeah, I'm primarily using win2k, so 512byte clusters it is then! :)
