What's the easiest way to deterimine the block size of a formatted Windows

2003 Server disk? I just want to see if it was formated in 4 or 8K blocks.

 

Thanks.

You can use WMI in a VBScript program to retrieve this information. See this

link:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_fsd_grsi.mspx

 

The page includes an example script that retrieves disk partition

properties, including block size.
