Hi James,<br>
<br>
Thanks for that link. I looked it over and did some more research.
I'll be sharing that in a thread with a different subject.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>

all,<br>
<br>
HELP. I cloned my 500 GB hdd which was threatening failure for my
laptop to a new 750 GB hdd using Acronis True Image. I told it to
leave the partition sizes unchanged, so the extra space at the end of
the drive is unallocated.<br>
<br>
I can now boot both Windows 7 and Ubuntu and they work fine. However,
Disk Utility in Ubuntu is giving an error message on each partition
that says:<br>
<br>
WARNING: The partition is misaligned by xxxx bytes. This may result in
very poor performance. Repartitioning is suggested.<br>
<br>
The number xxxx varies by partition, and all partitions are showing the
problem, except for the unallocated space. The following screen shots
show each error.<br>

Windows 7 seems to run fine and is apparently not bothered, although
there may be hidden effects I cannot see. What are the implications of
this? How do I fix it? Note that I don't want to erase any data in
any of the partitions. The disk is formatted as MBR.<br>
<br>
The following screen shot shows the structure of the drive in Disk
Manager in Windows. The 97 GB partition is the Linux partition and it
is EXT4.<br>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
