HI:
Question:  Using Dos 6.22 FDISK to partition  hard drive. If  I  want to
keep the cluster size at 16K, the most I could enter is 1019K for the
partition size. If I enter a size from 1020K to 1023K, the partition
is set to 1027.56K.  Any partition size at or over 1024K will result in
a cluster size of 32K. Can someone please explain why the FDISK program
doesn't set the partition size to the exact values you enter? Would I get
the exact same results using a different hard drive? Using Western Digital 6.4G.

Thanks a lot.
Brad Britton
