Thanks Wesley, I've got a much better understanding of it now.
Its reporting 4 KB clusters. I assume thats a default setting when you use
NTFS instead of fat32/16?

Any idea on the "overflow" query? He's using the laptop on the original
settings it came with. But I assumed it was standard notebook set up to
target "My Documents" to D:\ when the drive is partitioned. I suppose on
first use he may have been given a choice of saving to C:\ or D:\ ?
