Steele Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Go here and peruse: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm I have been using Terabyte for many years now; small, no bloat, fast, compatable, accurate, extremely good support, an active, very responsive newsgroup-details to subscribe on website. Most important to the SSD forums is: 1) you can partition aligned to 1024 on any blank HDD from a floppy, CD/DVD-ROM/RW/R, USB stick boot device for any file system with BootIt NG! (all automated) 2) should you already have installed unaligned, back up the partition or drive with Image for DOS to any medium/interface, wipe the drive with Terabyte's Copy Wipe (Free) and restore aligned to 1024 (you can automate this alignment or specify CHS manually for the image restore) from within Image for DOS I have just completed such a restore; was at 63, now am at 1024 on a P128G2D I cannot say enough good things about Terabyte; download their manuals/trial software, have a look-see; simply unbelieveable power and control.:biggrin: Their is a learning curve, but, the manuals are well written and fully detailed; any problems are solved immediately using their support infrastructure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 8, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for posting that but their software is not free and I did not see a trial available. I will leave that there for the time being but if any one complains I will have to remove the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steele Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Look here for BootItNG (30-day trial): http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-bootit-next-generation.htm Image for Windows (30-day trial): http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-image-for-windows.htm Image for DOS (30-day trial): http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-image-for-dos.htm Image for Linux (30-day trial): http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-image-for-linux.htm CopyWipe (Free Drive Copy and Wiping Software) http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/copywipe.php TeraByte OS Deployment Tool Suite (Free for Personal Use) http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/tbosdt.htm "TBOSDT Professional is available to paying customers. The Professional version gives you everything in the standard version plus the powerful TBScript™ engine and extensions that allow you to provide interactivity, logic, and mathematics in your scripts." ...and to compare all their software each to the other..here: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/comparison-grid.htm There we go; like I said, spend some time there, look around, try it out; no need for GParted, Diskpar or Diskpart...etc. for most applications. I had an image snapshot done with Image for DOS. I ran wmi and it showed misaligned at sector 63; wiped the partition with CopyWipe, restored the image with Image for DOS checking the option to align, ran wmi again after reboot-aligned to sector 1024 on the P128 D2G All their software works with all OS's right up to Win7RC and Windows 7 Enterprise (build 7600) and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM/RTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 12, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks for taking the time to post the links and spell out which was free and which was not. I am sure people who use the software will report back if they have any results to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
