Being new to the PC type of machine, I have a question I hope somebody
can answer for me. I have an XT clone with a 30Mbyte Hard Disk that I
am using for storage of small files. The cluster size is 2048 bytes,
and I am loosing a lot of potential storage space. I am not interested
in performance, so is there a way I can change the cluster size to something
smaller (even 1024 bytes would be a vast improvement)?
Thank you for the info.....
