I believe it has to do with matching the pagefile block size rather than the actual disk block size. I believe the pagefile block size has always been a consistent 4k under all MS operating systems. Win98 wouldn't be able to use NTFS and is based on FAT or FAT32. I believe block sizes for those ranged from 1k to 32k, depending on the size of the drive. -- Joel Lucsy "The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program." -- Larry Niven
