i have a 2 gb pcmcia hard drive i use with my ipaq. i was wondering what a good cluster size/fat type/ect. would be good for it. what should i use to format it as well.

thanks a lot :)

If you have a laptop, just format it with Windows, and use FAT32 and 4K clusters.

Check these links out and see if this helps to further clarify proper format and cluster size:

Disk size makes a big difference on selecting fat or fat32 and cluster size.
