What is the default cluster size setting when formatting a Windows NTFS partition on a hard disk drive larger than 2 GB?

The following table shows the default values that Windows XP uses for NTFS formatting. Drive size(logical volume) Cluster size Sectors----------------------------------------------------------512 MB or less 512 bytes 1513 MB - 1,024 MB (1 GB) 1,024 bytes (1 KB) 21,025 MB - 2,048 MB (2 GB) 2,048 bytes (2 KB) 42,049 MB and larger 4,096 bytes (4 KB) 8The maximum default cluster size under Windows XP is 4 kilobytes (KB) because NTFS file compression is not possible on drives with a larger allocation size. The Format utility never uses clusters that are larger than 4 KB unless you specifically override that default either by using the /A: option for command-line formatting or by specifying a larger cluster size in the Format dialog box in Disk Management.If you use the Convert utility to convert a volume from FAT to NTFS, Windows always uses a 512-byte cluster size. FAT structures are aligned on 512-byte boundaries; a larger cluster size does not allow conversion. Note also that in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, when a partition is formatted under Windows Setup, the partition is first formatted as FAT and then converted to NTFS. Therefore the cluster size is always 512 bytes when a partition is formatted in Setup. (This information does not apply to Microsoft Windows 2000 Setup or Windows XP Setup, which both format the partition according to your choice of a file system.)


How many number of partition in 80GB hard disk?

u can make 4 partitions in 80 gb harddisk of 19000! simple


Where on the Linux disk should you put your boot partition or the root partition if you do not use the boot partition?

This generally isn't an issue for modern computers; you can place the partition anywhere you like. With the way many modern hard drives are mapped, it doesn't even make a difference for performance reasons. The reason why it mattered in older systems was that the BIOS could only access up to a certain amount of the hard drive. To boot Linux, you would need to place the kernel within the area addressable by the BIOS. This could be within the first 528 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 8 GB, or 127 GB, depending on the age of the system. As of 2002, the addressable limit has been raised to something like 4 PB, so you needn't worry about it again for a long time.


Can one install fedora OS when windows7 OS is already existing in a computer with only one drive?

To be on the safe side you should make another partition on the drive. I've used another tutorial from the internet . 1. You will first need to shrink a partition or volume from the free space on a disk to create unallocated space on that disk to use to create the new partition or volume with on the same disk. 2. Open the Control Panel (All Items view), and click on the Administrative Tools icon. then close the Control Panel window. 3. Click on Computer Management in Administrative Tools, then close the Administrative Tools window. 4. In the left pane under Storage, click on Disk Management. 5. In the middle pane, right click on the empty unallocated partition or volume and click on New Simple Volume. 6. Click on the Next button. 7. Type in how many MB (1 GB = 1024 MB) you want to use from the unallocated partition to create the new partition with, then click on the Next button. IF YOU ARE INSTALLING AN OPERATING SYSTEM USE ABOUT 30GB NOTE: If you want to use all of the unallocated partition to create the new partition with, then type all of the maximum disk space shown for the unallocated partition. If you do not use all of the maximum disk space, then you can use the left over space from the unallocted partition to create another new partition with. 8. Select an available drive letter that you want to be assigned to the new partition in Computer, then click on the Next button. 9. Type in a volume label name that you want for the new partition, check the Perform a quick format box, and click on the Next button. 10. Click on the Finish button. 11. The new primary partition or volume has now been created with the assigned unallocted partition space


How many megabytes are in 4.2 GB?

For simple calculations, each Gigabyte contains 1000 Megabytes so you have 4000 Megabytes in 4 Gigabytes. More accurately for a formatted disk conversion factor is 1024 from Giga to Mega, so in that case 4GB will have 4096MB.
