Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Just got home from work. I ran Disk Defragmenter and
Analyze and the cluster size is 4KB.

Is this good or bad ?

Thanks, Jot

Hi

Run Disk Defragmenter to Analyze your hard disk, then click on 'View
Report'. What cluster size do you see?

Good morning,

I have 60Gb hard drive.

Thanks, Jot

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

Thanks. how does one change the customer size after converting from

NTFS?

Hi

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 ?

Yup, but that's kind of stating the obvious! :)

Hi

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