Problem

As I understand it, for SSD it's important to have partitions starting at the proper offset (i.e. correctly aligned). How can I check this offset under Windows Vista?

Fix for: How to check the partition alignment on an SSD drive?

Low Risk

Just run and find "Partition Starting Offset". It will be in bytes, divide the number by 512 to convert into sectors. On my SSD it is 1MB (1 048 576 bytes), but as far as i know, 128k is enough.
