To specify cluster size for a fat32 partition use format x: /FS:FAT32 /A:clustersize where x: is the driveletter. Naturally, the clustersize applies to the entire partition. To compress a directory tree in win2k you *must* either use an NTFS partition or use compression software such as DriveSpace, zipmagic, etc. that is compatible with FAT32. Just noticed, on the help for the format command, there is a /C option which states "Files created on the new volume will be compressed by default" - I guess this only applies to NTFS but it might be worth giving it a go on a FAT32 drive to see what happens! d _______________________________________________ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
