I noticed recently, while running a rebuild of 3.0 from the CD-ROM, that
the internal hard drive was formatted to 1024 bytes/block.
( NS Mono/Turbo, Seagate 250 ) Is the rebuild procedure from the CD-ROM
reformating the drive with larger blocks or were they always that size
and it was never noticed?
