I converted a drive from FAT32 to NTFS, but now the cluster size is 512
bytes. Can I fix this or can I copy the drive contents to another one
correctly formatted with 4KB clusters? If so, how is the best way to do this?

If you had asked here *before* converting, I (and others) would have
told that if you read http://aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.htm you would
have learned how to avoid this common problem.

If there's a way to fix it after conversion, I'm not aware of it.

Yes, you can certainly do that. Use a cloning program such as Acronis
True Image.
 
I'll try a cloning program to copy the data.

I did not know that this support site existed until I had a problem to deal
with. Knowledge Base info on Convert does not mention this potential problem
and I've converted other drives with no problems.
