Hi Folks,
So I got a few read errors the other day and figured I'd check my HDDs. Using the linux command "fdisk -l" to list the partitions prior to running badblocks, I got "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary."
While not a critical error (in so far as I can tell), it shows up on both my GPT disks (as opposed to my MBR drives).
Is this just a case of resizing the partitions and sliding them around?
And while I'm at it, does Bootit have a "badblocks" capability that I haven't seen?
Thanks

Re: physical sector boundary
It's just and old leftover non-issue warning it puts out.
