There must be something different about this 4K sector setup to suggest it will run slower on XP.
 I thought XP could used NTFS and that was a file system using 4K per sector.
Slicing up  a hard drive into 4K sectors just means you have more sectors on bigger drives.
I also understand that the new 1TB  and bigger drives must be approaching the limit to 
the maximum size a drive can be before it will not see the full size of the drive. 
This must be an attempt to fix that problem.

The program said "Requires Windows 98 or better to run properly." So I installed Linux.
