Partition misaligned by 2560 bytes
I have Knoppix loaded and am trying to repartition a 640gb hdd that has
I did not realize that I could not split the drive in more than four partitions at least it won't let me and now when I try to delete and recombine the two new volumes I get and error code and a warning the tells me that the partition is misaligned. Edit: I just rebooted Windows and went into Disk Mgt. and reformatted the drive - easy peasy. What do I need to do to fix this? Or is this one of those mistakes that can't be fixed. |
are you actually done with this issue? you marked it "solved" but you still have a question below your "edit"

Actually you don't have to designate the partitions prior to installing windows there is a partition program on the windows disk, the only thing is you have to create partiition size using numbers to tell it how much space to use.

Each disk can have a max of 4 'primary' partitions. However, you can make one (usually the last) an 'extended' partition (which is really just a marker), then put several 'logical' partitions inside the 'extended' one.
