RE: Allocation unit for disk formatting music drive

In my SP2 formatting options go up to 4096 bytes only!

Launch "Disk Management" from Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and you'll find the option becomes available.

Don't worry too much about it - the reason for the suggestion, which was IIRC mine (it's been a while) is that it makes sense to use a larger sector size when you know you'll be dealing almost entirely with large files. Is it going to transform your sound? Nope. Will it do any harm? Nope.
