Hi

Depends on what size hard disk you have as to whether you need to change the
cluster size.

Cluster size can be problematic when initially converting. Best to
convert
from FAT32 to NTFS 1st - then decide if you want to alter the cluster
size.

Thanks !!!

Just one final question I used the CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS command. Is the
correct way to avoid any waste in cluster size etc ?

Hi

Agreed - no software can physically damage any hardware. However
hardware does deteriorate over time.
