How to change sector size on an existing partition?
I am trying to change the sector size of a partition either higher or lower than what is reported now.
Using the ADMIN | Computer Mgmt tools to shrink the partition does make it smaller, but the sector size stays the same. The one I am trying to change the size of is a logical drive inside an extended partition.
Here's hoping that I don't have to blow out the partition and make a new one.
Why do I want to do this? I have a dual boot machine and on the 3rd partition, I'd like to install a version of Linux to test. But since the two partitions have the exact same sector size, it's allegedly preventing the installer from seeing any of the partitions, it simply shows it as one large one with no partitions showing.
Any ideas?
Thank you
