There is one problem, most C:\ partition(s) use up the entire hard drive space and there MUST be room to create the alignment partition.
Here is how you make room. I am running win 7, you said that you have a 100MB(system) partition which is typical for win7/vista so I will assume that you are not running XP. Right click on my computer choose "Manage" then choose "Disk Managment" Right click on drive and choose "Shrink Volume" I made it 10MB then choose "Shrink" Close that down and follow the instructions in the link above. now you have room :-) When verified and done go back to Manage - Disk Managment - right click on the 10MB volume that was created and choose delete volume. Then right click on C volume and choose extend and click ok. now you have the 1024KB at the begining of the drive right next to the 100MB system partition and have recovered your C drive space. I have inserted the instructions
from the web page here and modified them slightly.
Instructions
1. Click on the "Start" menu and select the "Search" box. Type "Command Prompt", then right-click the icon and choose "Run as administrator." (I just typed "cmd" then right clicked on the icon and chose run as Administrator, this skips #2 Instruction)
2.Enter the administrator user name and password to launch the elevated command prompt.
3.Create the aligned SSD partition by typing the following commands into the elevated command prompt window. Press the enter key after each command:
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1 (Note: replace "1" with the Number of your SSD (Windows OS Drive)
create partition primary align=1024
active
exit
4.Verify the aligned partition by typing the following commands into the elevated command prompt, pressing the enter key after each command:
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1 (Note: replace "1" with the Number of your SSD (Windows OS Drive)
list partition
5.Verify that the partition was created by ensuring that "1024 KB" is under the "Offset" column in the information that is outputted after initiating the list partition command.
Update... This process will make your C drive not bootable when you restart the computer after doing this.
Have no fear just have your win7 repair disk ready :-) Boot from it and choose repair my computer, it takes only a minute and puts the boot files in the right location on the drive. I verified after rebooting and the 1024KB offset is still there.
