I\'m dealing with some clicks and pops and want to see if the cluster sizes on the drives are currently too small. Where in windows can I see what the cluster size currently is on my drives??

Thanks,

Colin

clustersize in W95/98 (FAT32) is 4096 by default, in W2K/XP (NTFS) it\'s 512 - rightclick the drive, select properties | tools | defragment | analyze - after finished click on report for all details (that\'s for W2K - XP is similar) - for audio i made good experience using 4096 byte, you can choose even more, but then the built-in defragment will not work and you need additional software to do so
