If you run msinfo32, then look under Components, Storage, & Disks it
should show you the Partition Starting Offset for each logical volume.
Divide that by 4096 and check you get an integer result.


Good tip, will do, thanks.


or do it from the command line:

Do:

diskpart

Then get a list of disks:

list disk

Select the one you are interested in:

select disk n

Now get a list of partitions on the selected disk:

list partition

Now select the partition of interest:

select partition n

finally:

detail partition


I have used diskpart in the past but feel uncomfortable doing so (when
making changes) because there is no visual representation of what you
are doing, unlike many of the GUI tools these days.

That will show among other things the "offset in bytes"


I'll transfer this to my phone so have it with me when I do the
upgrade (for the S&G's). ;-)

Cheers, T i m
