Then I formatted disk with cluster size 32KB. After this I run my Win2003 setup and leave partition as it is. Setup copied all installation files to the HDD and rebooted. Now I'm getting "A disk read error occured" - so cannot boot to continue with installation. PLease advise... thanks in advance Hi Julie,

However, I would like to have one more tool - "Diskpar" integrated into BartPe for the same purpose of partition alignment. Could you please help me with that. Thank you in advance. Hi, Julie
