520 byes sector

Post by sdanpo »

Hi there!
I would like to know , how do I create a disk with sector size of 520 bytes.
As far as I have seen the only disk Virtualbox let's me create is 512 , and without the feature which allows me to change that.

Thanks

520 is not a nice binary value, but 512 is. That's why you can't create it. All sizes are in a power of 2.
