I went ahead and installed windows again anyway after reformatting again using the SU disk, same thing!! STILL cannot run scandisk! -Clint
----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton" I've use the floppy before with no problems. It is NOT the new one that has all that garbage on it that screws a HD up (it's v9.09). Well Greg, I used the windows SU disk to format the HD this time and it STILL is showing 4096k cluster sizes! >>>From your other reply: Use chkdsk, to determine cluster size ... http://onlinehelp.bc.ca/tips.htm#scandisk I did that, and it shows the cluster size ("allocation units") @ 4096K! So, I don't get it. Why does Sandra Pro state 16k???? I will reformat again using the windows SU disk as it suggests and see what that does. I can't understand though why I have never seen this problem before on 15gb, 18gb, 20gb >>>or 45gb drives. What now? :-) Why am I having this problem now? I NEVER have before with large HD's. How do I change the cluster size to 16k? (If this is the consensus as to what is causing the problem). -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Have you tried the WD install disk with other drives, perhaps it is corrupted. I try not to use vendor setup disc's anymore, too many errors found.
