How to fix volume misalignment using Acronis Disk Director

Suppose that you have already created basic volumes on a disk with a 4-KB sector size, using

Windows XP. Volumes already contain data. To align the misaligned volumes on the disk using

Acronis Disk Director, clone this disk to another and then clone it back—see Disk cloning (p. 45). After

cloning, Acronis Disk Director shifts the first volume start with 1MB offset, all the disk volumes will be

aligned properly.
