I am working on a Window 98 machine with a 18 gig harddrive that has 1 logical drive. The cluster size is set a 4KB. Scandisk and defrag won't operate because of this. I want to use partition magic to change the cluster size to the recommended 8KB cluster size. By changing the clsuter size will this compromise the existing data on the drive?

I have used partition magic to change cluster size several times on my machine--Win95B with a 6 GB HHD--with no loss of data.
