Peter, that was as high as the table went;
http://onlinehelp.bc.ca/tips.htm#scandisk
Up to 8 gb       4K clusters
8 to 16 gb      8K clusters
16 to 32 gb   16K clusters
32 to 64 gb   32K clusters

What it says on that page is not correct:

"The cluster size can be corrected by booting the computer
with a Windows startup disk and reformatting the drive with
the format program on the startup disk."

I did that, and it still shows 4k cluster size for a 17.2gb
HD.  Something else odd, on MY pc, I have two 20gb ATA133
drives on a RAID stripe (which is a total of only 20gb) and
they have 32k clusters!

Hello Greg,

Do you have an extension for this table? As in what cluster
size FAT32 must
have with a 160 gb hard drive? Going by this table FAT32
would require 128k
clusters for that drive size
I don't use FAT32 any more, unless I install a win9x, and
haven't dealt
with 64k clusters since NT.
Interesting.
