Download the Microsoft hot-fix as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article KB831293. This patch allows the operating system to recognize an 8K
sector sized device.
Caution:
Due to limitations of the Windows operating system, 8192
byte/sector media can cause Windows operating systems to "blue screen"
during boot up if media is loaded in the drive.
There is a hot-fix currently available for this problem that can be obtained by
calling Microsoft support at (800) 936-4900 (North America only). Reference
Knowledge Base Article 831293. You can also go to
ect your country from
the drop-down list, and then select Contact Microsoft.
Be aware that while the article itself does not list a "work-around", there is a
hot-fix available but it must be obtained directly from Microsoft. There is no
charge for this hot-fix and the phone call to Microsoft is free within North
America.
