Lily, Is this the information your looking for? http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/story/0,10801,73872,00.html and more info on Fat and NTFS at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us /Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prkc_f il_lxty.asp Tim Watkins -----Original Message----- From: Lily Tse [mailto:lily_tse908@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 7:15 PM To: forensics@securityfocus.com Subject: Cluster size Hi, I know that there are different default cluster sizes an operating system uses during a high level format depending on how big the volume is. However, cluster size can be changed easily. Assuming that the all the VBRs on a hard disk have been destroyed (BIOS parameter block info is lost), is there any way I can find out the exact cluster size for FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, and EXT3 volumes? I have been studying different filesystems to look for hints, but it seems like only the BPBs provide cluster information. I have also looked at a hard disk with a hex editor to find hints, but no luck.
