I am trying to set up a partition using diskpart. Disk 1 is on a
san. I need to use the align command but get the following

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 12 GB 0 B
Disk 1 Online 50 GB 50 GB

DISKPART> select disk 1

Disk 1 is now the selected disk.

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 12 GB 0 B
* Disk 1 Online 50 GB 50 GB

DISKPART> list partition

There are no partitions on this disk to show.

DISKPART> create partition primary align=64

The arguments you specified for this command are not valid.

Which Server version are you using? This will not work with Windows
2000 Server, you need an updated Diskpart version and Server 2003.

I followed the procedure described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929491

....which is the same as jdutro mentioned, except I used align=1024 as is
recommended in the KB article. I got the same error. This is on Windows XP,
the version of diskpart is 5.1.3565. I am trying to create an aligned
partition on my Dell PERC5i, I doubt using Computer Management creates an
aligned array.

Any idea what's causing this and how to get around it?

You need the DISKPART version 5.2 from Windows 2003 (or 6.0 from Vista) in
order to use the ALIGN parameter. Windows XP does not support this feature.
