Paul,
No, it wasn't
...
Question:
On my HD0 (the main drive inside the laptop), which is a 750GB, I have a bunch of partitions (BING is set for not limiting).
When I boot to Win7, I have a Boot item that has 4 of those partitions, including a SWAP partition where I put the Win7 pagefile.
I was able to get the SWAP partition aligned by using BING to delete the partition, and to create a partition in the same area. And then I booted into Win7 and used Windows Disk Management to format the drive NTFS. Then the SWAP partition now shows as aligned.
I can't do what I did with the SWAP partition, because I have Windows on the C: partition, and data on the other 2 partitions, but is there a way to use BING to get those other 3 partitions to be aligned? Maybe doing a resize and slide or something like that?
Here's the partinfo after booting to Win7:
