Sector size
Posted: 03 Jan 2017, 17:14
How did you restructure the sector size?
So far I've only managed to change the sector size by using
> [create]
> Disk
> ['partition table type']
> [Geometry]
> [Sector Size] 512
from there I managed to restructure the geometry from 1024 byte to 512 byte sectors, at least it is shown in this way by testdisk. When I now run another program i.e. rufus.akeo to create a bootable usb flash drive, I still get a message telling me that the geometry is using a 1024 byte geometry instead of 512 byte-structured sectors.
Further If I quit testdisk from the [Geometry] Menue > [Quit] > [Quit], the sector size jumps back to 1024 bytes which makes me think, the restructuring was just not safed/written to the flash drive.
Can anyone let me know how to restructure the sector size permanently?
thank you
