I need to find out the "Allocation Unit Size" selected when a particular hard-disk was formatted.
It doesn't appear in the properties information for the drive.
Is there any easy way to get this information?

Have you tried "chkdsk C:\data" from a console? Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/218461, which describes (amongst other things) using chkdsk on a disk mounted as a mount point.
