I tried some of the partition programs already but I get corrupted partitions and get errors when I want to boot from win xp pro cd and install : /

Is there any specific order or method to make partitions ( if needed also to rename them ) and give them a cluster size of 64 kb + defrag ( I need to defrag cause I use both C and D for my win xp slipstreamed install for seperate folders on D "program files" and "documents and settings" and the windows installion itself on C )

I want to break the limit of 4kb that is normally needed for win xp pro ( try it yourself ^^ you have to move heaven and earth to install win xp pro on a partition with a cluster size bigger then 4 kb, I didnt even find someone that actually succeeded : / )


so simply:

I wanna make a C and D partition ( they must have those names else if not how can I change them?)
Give both partitions a cluster size of 64kb instead of the default 4kb from the win xp installation
Defrag them both so I can use them both while doing my xp installation

cheers ^^

That may answer your question.

so instead of UBCD, you give me a half DOS command :p
Well thx for the help but it does not help me much

You asked a question, I gave an answer to the best of my knowledge.




To sum it up, YOU CANT USE NTFS/FAT32 for your drives if you want your drives to be readable by any windows computer if you choose to change the cluster size. There are limitations with NTFS from what I have read on the articles provided, hence why no one has able to do it.

I really don't understand why you are even attempting to try 64KB, you aren't gaining any performance and its going to be more headaches than good.

I don't know whether you mean to split a partition to be two and resize partition? and you are using xP, i think a free manager I am usinh in my XP now is a good assistant for you,Google REMOVED LINK, it is free , I wish it could give you a favor.
