- Hi All! I'm looking for a utility that can change my sector size
- in my 150 Megs ESDI HD. It is 4k each sector and recently I have
- found that such a size represents a lot of wasted space due to
- all the slack that is left over in tiny. As I understand, even if
- the file is just a few bytes long it will occupy the whole 4k
- sector thereby wasting space. I have been told that I can make
- different partitions to reduce the sector size but I'd rather
- leave it as it is (1 partition) and look for an utility that will
- do the job. Does anyone knows of such a program? Where can I get
- it? (If it exist) I saw one little shareware program before but
- never got to test it, since I wasn't interested at that time but
- now I wonder if this can be done...Thanks all! :-)
