Formatting local disks

hello,

I did reinstal my Windows 7 Ultimate and i did choose 3 partitions... But my D and E partitions (partiton 2 and 3) i cant open... i have to format them... If i click them i get small menu.

It asks for allocation Unit size (default its at 4096mb) what should i pick?

Thanks

Re: Formatting local disks

Hi!

The default isn't 4096mb but 4096 bytes a big difference. Anyway the default size is ok for you. There is really no need to start to messing with it.

Re: Formatting local disks

yup... just use the default... format the drives (use the quick format.... don't need to do a standard/long format... that's unnecessary)
