Useful reminder of disk alignment boundaries

Remember alignment at the 64k boundary, without proper partition alignment performance degradation occurs especially noticeable on high I/O disks.

Summary:

• Select a disk in DISKPART
• create partition primary align=64
• Check with msinfo32/System info
  
• Note: If your using 2003 enterprise or datacenter edition there is a bug where you receive an error when trying to format, the work around is to assign a drive letter in disk part and then format
