- Open a command prompt. (Start>run>type in "cmd" and click OK)
- In the window that opens type "chkdsk c:" and press return (where c is
the drive you want to check).
- Windows will check the drive and report if there are errors. It will
also report "XXXX bytes in each allocation unit". 4096 bytes would mean
you have 4K clusters. 512 bytes would mean you have 512 byte clusters.
(If you want to repair any disk errors it finds use the same command but
with the /f switch. "chkdsk c: /f" It will need to reboot to fix errors
on the system drive.
