Ssd and windows xp sp3

Now they will be aligned as the Windows 7 installer aligns partitions where as the XP one doesnt. Disable system defrag and never defrag the drive and manually TRIM the drive through the toolbox weekly. Not sure if XP had prefetch but if it did then disable it. You want to leave write-caching on.

Jun 2, 1 Coup, I have a question too. You still have to do the Win 7 partition alignment step? I think you've misunderstood partitions and unallocated space. A brand new drive from an etailer will come completely blank, it will have no partitions on it and the whole thing will be 'unallocated space'. You cannot install or use this disk until you put a partition on it.

If you want to use the whole disk, you still need to have a partition on it, you just make it the entire size of the disk. So in your case, yes you will need the Windows 7 installer or disk management from withing Windows 7 to make a single partition which will be the size of the SSD.

From there you go into the XP installer and use the option "leave file system intact" i think its worded and just install onto your single partition. May 25, 1, 2 May 21, 0 0. Web icon An illustration of a computer application window Wayback Machine Texts icon An illustration of an open book.

Anyone had experience with that? But for now, I really want to image the existing drive, not re-install. I've found a few resources describing how to use tools to properly align the partitions of the image-- but what about enabling AHCI? Cannot attest to the acurracy of any of theses: You need to use the Optimizer tool found within the Intel SSD Toolbox to implement trim on XP.

I would worry about partition alignment when cloning, although Intel says their drives are alignment-agnostic. So I wouldn't worry about it. Is it a good idea? They are office PCs.
