    I have Win10 and a USB Bay and I put a 1. TB Hard Drive in it.

    I just want to Play around with Formatting in DOS.

    I found this Video.


    I Understand all of this but I wanted to Know about the Cluster Size?

    I know I Type.
    format fs=ntfs label=BACKUP quick

    How do I Tell it to Make every Cluster 64 KB or 4. KB?

    Thanks for all the help and Time.

    Like nearly every DOS command, if you enter the command then use the /? switch, you will get a list of all the syntax option without performing any of those actions.

    So, at the command prompt, enter format /? and press Enter to see all your options.
