I use Paragon Disk Manager Server 11

You can change cluster size without losing data. However you cant do it on C drive...

That looks like a professional and expensive tool. Who says you cannot do the C drive? Have you ever used a WinPE?

That looks like a professional and expensive tool that is pirated by people that are cheap.

So true

Its not expensive, my dad gets free updates and lifetime license. Im using the CD on my computer,,, if you calling me a pirate for that,,,,, then go ahead.

Ignore Soundmanred's futile misquotes.

Can you boot from that CD, or do you just run application from the CD in Windows? Paragon says that it can create a bootable CD/USB. Wen you boot and run different OS from another media, your C-drive will not be in use and unused filesystems should be as safe to resize as any.

Im on 512k cluster size. I tried everything apps to change it and it wouldnt change. C drive wouldnt,, other drives would.

Is there really a diff in performance from 4096kb or 512k ,, my boot up takes 20 seconds and photoshop cs5 takes 2 seconds on first launch.... Should I just forget about this, as its bothering me a little. Seems like I would get same speed with 4096kb,,, I dont know what yall think gurus.. thx gl

Can you not make a small partition, format it in NTFS with a default cluster size, run various benchmark tools on it, compare it to the results of your current partition with your modified cluster size and then see what the difference is? I don't think anybody can tell you with a degree of accuracy what the speed difference is and the above test will take less than half an hour?

Thanks Coup27 ,,,,,,thx gg
