So, here are my partitions:
- Windows 8 (C) - Aligned - 174,7 GB - NTFS
- Unlabeled - Not aligned - 972,7 MB - 0x83 (Linux native) - made using fdisk during Arch Linux installation
- Unlabeled - Not aligned - 7,630 GB - Linux Swap - made using fdisk during Arch Linux
installation - Unlabeled - Not aligned - 27,94 GB - 0x83 (Linux native) - made using fdisk during Arch Linux installation
FREE SPACE - 138,4 GB - Entertainment (E) - Aligned - 349,3 GB - NTFS
O.K, so I guess you already figured out what the problem is. Yesterday, when I was installing Arch Linux, I
made those 3 partitions using fdisk ( previously, I used fdisk-b to change the
cluster to 4096 kb - is that a good thing or not? ) and I figured out on the
way that those 3 partition I just made was misaligned. I then restarted and
tried to fix it using WD align tool under Windows 8 but, although it showed it
finished with some errors, it showed that the operation to align the 3
partitions was successfully. But, after one restart, the 3 partitions were still
misaligned. I then tried to proper align the partitions using Gparted
(PardedMagic) but I didn’t know what to do there… So I didn’t change
anything.
How can I realign those partitions? Moving/Resizing them is the
solution? I’m waiting for a response.
Thanks in advance.
