Is it possible to create a C: drive with 64K clusters?
I'm trying to create a C: drive with 64K clusters - to match the block size of my RAID-0 drive. During the Windows 7 Setup process I drop into the command window with Shift-F10 and manually format the C: drive using
format c: /a:64k /x
then I continue with setup. Setup expands the files (seemingly normally) and then reboots, but when the system reboots I get
A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart
If I reboot again it automatically reboots from the DVD.
I've tried this twice with the same results. I cannot tell if this is a bug in Windows 7 Setup, is a problem with the Dell system I am using, or if it is simply not supported to install Windows 7 this way.
If I use the default format from the Setup GUI, the installation works correctly.
Can someone please explain?
