Cutha 0 Posted May 18, 2000 I have installed winNT many times. The thing I have noticed is that when creating a partition with NTFS it defaults to 512Byte clusters. I convinced a client to get rid of fat16 on his server and I formatted during the reinstall. Problem is it’s slow as hell loading any files now. Normally I would just install NT to a different drive temporarily and then format the one I want to really install NT on with the NT disk manager with 4k clusters. Then reinstall again to the original drive. Problem is this beast of a machine I am working on has hardware raid, no IDE. No extra drive available. My question is how do I get NT to format with 4k clusters on install? Or how do I format C: with NT installed on a logical partition? I tried that today and NT had a bird about formatting it because there was system files on C: Thanks for your time. ----------------- Dell Poweredge 2300 dual PII 450Mhz's 256Megs RAM Hardware RAID with 3 Drives HP scsi burner Standard CD-ROM scsi Share this post Link to post
