    55And yes, clusters always relate to a partition, not a whole disk. Whole disk has sectors, only. Cluster is a FAT concept. HPFS has no clusters, for example. It has sectors. And JFS is divided to blocks of 4 KB, which aren't called clusters. So, the notion of cluster is not defined outside FAT and only FAT partitions are divided to clusters.

    99Strange. I have two FAT partitions, one FAT12 (32 MB in size) and another FAT16 (having 2 GB in size). Both show "." and "..". So, these are multiple partitions too. I think, it does not matter if it is an USB stick or a SATA hard disk.
