Can testdisk use non standard sector and cluster sizes when searching a fat32 disk?
I have a corrupted 500GB western digital drive (it appears they have low tolerance to heat)
The drive is from a "beyonwiz" PVR
it uses a Cluster size of 512Kb
and a Sector size of 4096
It is recognised as a Fat32 LBA

I am currently running fsck on a dd_rescue image of the disk but it is faltering on

Bad short file name (�@&!@Q*\200.L4\227).
Auto-renaming it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
