The version of Disk Manager (from OnTrack) that is usually packaged with Seagate's "large" (> 32meg) drives will do the job. Just make sure you run it in manual mode to get to the necessary menus. >I'd like to just re-format the one partition if possible, ... You should be able to back up that partition, then knock (just) it out with Disk Manager, then create a new Disk Manager partition in its place and high-level format that, and then restore your files into the new and improved (Disk Manager) partition. Don't forget to swtich to using Disk Manager's dmdrvr.bin driver in config.sys before you attempt to access the new partition though. >What cluster size should I expect with each of the above approaches? Disk Manager allows you to choose from a variety of cluster sizes when you use it in manual mode. Hope the above helps some. ...Sam -- Internet: <skl@wimsey.bc.ca> UUCP: {van-bc,ubc-cs,uunet}!wimsey.bc.ca!skl
