SSD alignment
I have set up 2 computers with SSD as the C drive. I used diskpart to align both of them. Both had different issues. The 1st I could not install the image backup so I did a fresh install of W7.
The 2nd the image restore when smooth and all seemed to work but I had a new hardware conflict the was giving me BSOD and I didn’t figure that out until I hosed the 500g backup drive on the machine (another thread). So I did a fresh install of Vista.
As always when I install a fresh copy I format the drive to install windows on and it looks to me like I must have deleted the partition for the bitlocker set up in the diskpart procedure. As you can see from the screenshots nether of them shows a partition.
So at this point both seem to work fine. Can they be aligned after the OS has been installed? Or do I make an image then remove each and align and restore the image?
