Default Cluster size - (repost)

Hi,

I am trying to do a scripted install of WXP Pro on new workstations.

I want to end up with NTFS with 4K cluster size for best performance.

If I format as FAT32 and then convert during the install (after imaging) I
end up with 512 byte clusters. :-( If I reboot my "source" machine though
it correctly ends up with 4K clusters.

If I try with NTFS instead (and don't do the convert during the install
(after imaging) then I get a machine that won't boot up - despite having a
valid MBR. Once again, my "source" machine boots, installs, and ends up
with 4K clusters....

So it would seem that Imaging is changing something - anyone know if the
mystery hotfix pack 2 has any fixes of that sort ?

Cheers
Ian
