Changing cluster size

I bought a new hard drive recently and I just realized that I forgot to change the cluster size to 64k. I was wondering, if I use Partition Magic to change the cluster size, does anyone know if it will have to reformat the hard drive?

That's part of the purpose of those types of apps: change the partition size, cluster size, etc., w/o reformatting or losing data. (Unless, of course, there is a bug in the utility. Nothing is guaranteed.)

Even if it's possible, I wouldn't recommend it.

BTW: I've done it in the past w/o losing data. If it is important data, back it up first, though.

I've heard on this forum of ppl having some intermittent issues with hard drives built/formatted outside of XP/2K.
