It should be easy to find out if an advanced format drive has been aligned or not.
So far I cannot find a way to do this.
Reasons why this would be helpful.
-
User might have forgotten if a drive was aligned for XP or not.
-
Buyers of used drives might need to know.
-
After using certain tools, or partitioning, etc., users might want to do a “sanity check” on the alignment state.
