512 and 4096 disk sector size

Post by skipro »

Tried to copy partition on HD0 to HD1 [USB] using IFW. I get message saying I have to use 512 sector size. In "information", HD0 shows 512 disk sector size, HD1 shows 4096 disk sector size. This is not allocation size.
What can I do? I do not think you can change disk sector size. HD0 is in a Thinkpad T420, HD1 is from a T430.

try esata or attaching to the internal sata or using a different USB device.
double check if the drive has a jumper to set the logical sector size.
