Hi,
How do I find out what the cluster size is set to, on my
FAT32 C: on Windows 98?
I didn't see this info on C: Properties, and I don't
know where else to get it. I'd rather not have to use
DEBUG to look at the raw C: sectors. (I can do this easily
on a floppy disk, but I don't know how to do it on a C:.)
Any ideas?

Thanks,
js.

Open a DOS WIndow and run chkdsk.

Check the properties on any file less than 4 kb (autoexec.bat for
example) and see how much space it occupies. Mine is 181 bytes but 4096
bytes are used so my cluster size is 4 kb.
