Getting the following error in Event Viewer when trying to install SQL Server…

Cannot use file ‘D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf’ because it was originally formatted with sector size 4096 and is now on a volume with sector size 8192. Move the file to a volume with a sector size that is the same as or smaller than the original sector size.

Fix:

You can add a registry key, which will cause the behavior of Windows 11 and later to be similar to Windows 10. This forces the sector size to be emulated as 4 KB. To add the ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes registry key, use the Registry Editor or run commands as described in the PowerShell as Administrator section. You must reboot the device after adding the registry key in order for this change to take effect. Try the SQL Server install again after reboot.
