    I would assume the instructions at the top of this thread would work. I used those instructions, although I had Vista, not XP.

    Any particular reason you would start the install from within XP rather than booting from the Win 7 install CD? I don't know that it makes any difference, but I chose to boot from the disc and then dropped into the diskpart command.
    I like the idea of having all my old installation saved in Windows.old.
    So wanted to run setup from the desktop.

    Thanks

    So nobody here really knows, if diskpart (in Windows7 pre-SP1) will actually auto-align your drive correctly. When you use it to clean/create a partition or not?

    Its just so confusing. And wonder if the 1024kB alignment stated everywhere will work for all SSDs. Some SSDs will report 512/512 as logical/physcial for example.

    No one has ever said it hasn`t, all you have to do is check after your install.

    Personally I use Partition Wizards boot CD to setup drives/partitions etc.

    Hi,
    If you install on a blank/ unallocated space ssd the installer will install on it as if it is already aligned since it has a single partition spanning the entire disk/ ssd..

    If one makes a partition to install windows on just make it a even gb # 100gbs..... and it will also be auto aligned

I'm sure some of you know that particular versions of Windows 7 creates 100MB partition upon the its installation mainly for the BitLocker feature. I bought Windows 7 Ultimate from Amazon and it is one of them. I know it also contains WinRE, but I know Windows 7 can use its own partition where...
