Nah.  Format it in Control Panel, computer management, disk management and
choose a cluster size of 64.

Subject: [ddots-l] Can't Reformat with Larger Cluster Size

Hi folks.

On my older XP system, I can't seem to reformat my audio-only drive (250GB
in size) with a larger cluster size.  When I run the format utility from the
context menu, it only displays available sizes up to 4KB.

How can I do this? Do I need to resort to the old command line format?

thanks
Chris
