    X25 SSD - XP - Error loading operating system

    Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but I found a true solution to this problem and I felt that I needed to share. I had the same problem as the original poster. Unable to install XP on an aligned partition. So I installed XP normally, and partitioned (unaligned) and...
