Do I need to mess around with the alignment of this drive? Coup27 Platinum Member. Jul 17, 2, 3 You will have to create an aligned partition before entering the XP installer.

There are many ways to do this. The simplest is if you have access to a Windows 7 disc. Boot the Windows 7 disc with the SSD connected as if you were going to install Windows 7 to the disk. Once you arrive at the drive partitioning section, create your partitions how you see fit.

Once finished, exit the installer and power off. Swap the installer discs so the XP installer is now in the drive. Run the XP installer and when you get to the partition selection section, choose the partition you want to install to and use the option NTFS quick format. Could I download a Win 7 disc somewhere and use it for this purpose without having to have a CD-key or registration? All I have is my currently messed up XP rig and a laptop with Vista.

I'll put it on Rapidshare if ya want. Old Hippie said:. May 14, 2, 89 Vista can create aligned partitions just like Win7. When you install XP, just choose that disk. Feb 28, 0 Just download gpart and create the 1mb offset so you have the proper alignment. I can get windows 7 installed perfectly, I read a bunch of threads from them earlier and basically found nothing to help You will need to go here to check for drivers depending on model you have.

Use nLite available free here to make this but don't forget the read the Guides on the Web Site so you know how to use it. I actually have a USB floppy so no need to slip stream, going to try that today :.

When I boot up from the cd it says that the Setup did not find any hard disk drive.

I believe I need to add in my own driver for the SSD when windows is booting up pressing f6 however I do not know what driver I need. Is anyone running one on Windows XP? I am really interested popping one of these into my work laptop but we are still on XP. Any gotchas other than leave a bunch of empty space? Anyone had experience with that? But for now, I really want to image the existing drive, not re-install. I've found a few resources describing how to use tools to properly align the partitions of the image-- but what about enabling AHCI?

Cannot attest to the acurracy of any of theses: You need to use the Optimizer tool found within the Intel SSD Toolbox to implement trim on XP. I would worry about partition alignment when cloning, although Intel says their drives are alignment-agnostic.
