I have an IBM PS-2 model 80 with a 40 Mbyte hard drive partitioned into
a C and D drive.  The C drive has a cluster size of 2048 bytes, and the
D drive has a cluster size of 4096.  My question is: how do you
reformat the D drive for a cluster size of 2048?  I tried reformatting
with DOS 3.3, PCTOOLS, and MACE but none seem to work.  I would rather
not have to FDISK the entire disk in order to do this.  (Since this was
someone else's PC, I don't know how they were able to get a cluster
size of 4096.)  Any help would certainly be appreciated.
