I have 2 questions about aligning a SSD for reinstallation of Windows... sorry if the answer has obviously been answered, I am new to this.
You say that for installing Windows 7 on a 'brand new SSD', aligning is not needed since the Windows 7 installer will take of that. Does 'brand new' include if I have just completed a 'clean all' on a SSD that previously had Windows 7 installed on it? What if I had only done a 'clean' on the SSD?
You also mention that if the 100 MB reserved partition is correctly aligned, the following partition (C) will be correctly aligned as well... what if I create an additional partition on the SSD later after installing the OS on C (say F to install XP on). Will this new partition also be correctly aligned? Basically what I am asking is if the 1st partition on a SSD is correctly aligned, will all subsequent partitions also be aligned or only the 2nd partition (not necessarily the 3rd, 4th...)?
Thanks for any help.
