Hard Drive Questions
I have one 80 gig Western Digital Hard Drive in my system right now. I want to format it to have 64k clusters to try and get better perfomance. I do not have a floppy drive so i can not use a boot disk. I am running win XP. What is the best way to about this. Is any hard drive format utility better then the others? I don't care if i loose all my data. Thanks.

XP can do it, either use the Windows format GUI or at the command prompt:
format [drive] /FS:NTFS /A:64k |

Reinstall XP on a small partition (5-10 gig) on the drive, then setup another partition for your video. That way you can setup the second bigger partition with 64k clusters.
