I'll add my recommendation to Steve's. For about $50, this is a software
program that can save you HOURS of pain.
However, about that cluster size thing--Partition Magic can't magically
make your clusters smaller (on a normal FAT system). It *will* "suggest" a
parition size more suited to the data contained on that particular
partition which will optimize the slack loss by going to a partition
size/cluster size combination that is best for the data/size of files on
that partition.
I can't say enough about Partition Magic though--who'd have thought you
could change partition sizes on the fly without destroying data contained
thereon?! Its beautiful.
