What's the easiest way to deterimine the block size of a formatted Windows
2003 Server disk? I just want to see if it was formated in 4 or 8K blocks.

Thanks.

You can use WMI in a VBScript program to retrieve this information. See this

The page includes an example script that retrieves disk partition
properties, including block size.
