And that will work the same for Windows 7? Thanks for the info. I think I'll carry on with a fresh install using your excellent tutorial as a guide. I have a SSD that I intend to use for the system drive and use the enitre thing, having all the data on a seperate HDD. Do you recommend using DISKPART to do a clean all on this SSD, and then use the installer to install to the entire "unallocated" partition?

Diskpart is IMO the best tool available for HD partitioning.

So should I use that to create and align SSD partitiions before install or let the installer handle it? The SSD for the OS will use the entire drive.

If the entire disk will be used for a single Windows system partition (apart of course possible partitions created by system like System Reserved, Recovery and such) then I see nothing against letting the installer to do the partitioning.
This, of course, is just my personal opinion. Other geeks might give you another opinion :)
