different number of reserved sectors on FAT16 formatted sd micro card



Hi

We have formatted a sd micro card with a single partition under FAT16
on 2 different pc's having

windows XP (with service pack 2). After the format is complete, if we
read the card with a Sector

Edit software, the boot sector on the card shows reserved sectors as
'01' in case of card formatted

by PC 1, and shows '02' in case of card formatted PC 2. Why is this
different?

Microsoft says that the number of reserved sectors as indicated in
boot sector are 'usually one'!

Any suggestions?

Thanking in advance
.
