     9I guess DFSee is doing the right thing and computing everything correctly (cluster size etc.) whereas the FAT32 formatting code does not. Maybe the FAT32 formatting code reuses a wrong cluster size from the BPB if it finds an already existing FAT16/FAT32 BPB but I don't know. The latter would explain why you can format correctly with FAT32 after wiping the first sectors to zero.
