what would be the command for diskpar.
Sql needs needs to be align=1024 if using diskpart.
What would that be using diskpar.
and format using what allocation size?

Sql 7 needs align=1024 in diskpart.exe
does anyone know how that would look using diskpar.exe
Diskpart will not work on my Win2000 server, but Diskpar will.

The main difference is that diskpar creates a partition in sectors (512byte), and diskpart uses kilobytes. Simple calculation is
512 byte = 1 sector
1024 byte (1 KB) = 2 sector
so, 1024 KB = 2048 sector
So in Diskpart - if your alignment value is 1024 (in KB), then Diskpar value will 2048 ( multiple by 2)
512 byte = 1 sector
1024 byte (1 KB) = 2 sector
so, 1024 KB = 2048 sector
So in Diskpart - if your alignment value is 1024 (in KB), then Diskpar value will 2048 ( multiple by 2)
