Windows xp is such a piece of crap boo hoo poor me. If you think xp is so bad why dont u go back to crappy Winme - Mistake edition.
In xp if you make a new volume you can change the cluster size from a list box. If you convert a volum, you cannot do this. In general you should format a drive if you want ntfs. In windows 2000 for example, if you converted a drive to ntfs a lot of the permissions were not set correctly, and the MFT was fragmented. This is fixed in xp, but still it's always best to format a drive as ntfs - this is by design. As a side note, in winme you cannot use 512 clusters on fat32 volumns. Well you can, but the command is hidden. I assume you used partition magic to do this, right? You're using a 3rd party program not made by microsoft, these kind of things happen. What do you want microsoft to do, force partition magic to remove that feature? 512 byte clusters are a bad idea anyway, why would you want such a thing? -gosh |
