All..
An increasing number of laptops are coming into our place with 4K drives (Lenovo comes with Hitachi HGST drives, for example).
When I'm doing a restore of an image using RDeploy, the drive is misaligned.
My PE environment is 3.1.
Is there a command line utility I can use which will realign the drives?
Or is there an updated version of RDeploy which supports these drives? (say the one that perhaps came with SP6??)
I really don't want to have to create a new image specifically for these, as presumably that'd mean I'd be in a situation where I need to maintain 2 images (one 4k, and the other 512). Especially since we have 32 schools with different images.
I don't particularly want to have to build these from scratch (even though I have a DS job that'll do it), as some of the installs take upwards of 5 hours to do courtesy of some fairly hefty packages like AutoCAD, as opposed to 45 minutes to deploy via RDeploy.
I know that the various hardware companies have partition alignment tools, but they're all GUI based and (I believe??) need to be run from within Windows itself.
I surely can't be alone with this issue?
Can anyone provide some insight?
