Installation of ESX 4 in Graphical mod with block size 4

I want to create a VM on host machine with 1 TB disk space but default configuration of Storage disk does not allow for creating more than 256 GB disk space for VM because block size is set by default 1 MB during the installation.

So please help how can change blockSize from the configuration of Storage without re-installation of host machine.

If it is not possible then update how can change it during the installation of ESX 4 in graphical mod.

Do you really need a graph mode ?

Here are the instructions to do it in the text mode:[http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/11/11/changing-the-block-size-of-your-local-vmfs-during-the-install/]

In graphical mode or after the installation - I think this is impossible.
