as the title says, can anyone help me with this? My ssd is giving me shitty speeds so i wanted to fix this. I heard Win 7 creates aligned partitions at an offset of 1024KiB by default but XP does not and my alignment is bad. I don't have a W7 pc to hook it up to and repartition it. And how to switch to AHCI mode?change it in bios and reinstall the windows? does XP fully support it?

Windows XP isn't 4K aware so you will need 3rd party utility do it for you, but SSD aren't 4K so it doesn't matter if it's running at the 512 byte level.
One thing is XP doesn't support TRIM thus as time passes by SSD performance will slow down. For ACHI, XP is supported, but you will have to enable ACHI in the bios and reinstall XP.
XP will not recognize your ACHI drives, so you will need to create a driver diskette for your board's ACHI controller. And XP most of the time will look for floppy disk. No floppy disk? Then you will have to recreate a XP disc with the ACHI drivers.

hmm i would just get XP and W7 for dual boot then TRIM would be w/ w7. Is it same for W7, enable in bios and install w7? It has the drivers with it right? And XP does not recognize the drives in ahci so that means the dvd drive aswell rite? i cant install w/o teh drive lolz.
So where should i begin if i wanted dual boot with ahci mode? i still need to make a new XP disc right? floppy discs are ancient. Do you have a tutorial or something for this? Looked it up on google, is it something like this?

why dont you quit hanging on to your precious fucking xp and move on dude, they dropped main stream support for it. It seriously is ancient. You have an SSD and I am guessing modern other parts. Why do you even need Windows XP?

Edit: In my fit of rage I put "even need Windows 7" not Windows xp.

You can use that tutorial to help you out as that's a lot easier.
The official method described by MS is a lot more difficult and may need some practice on it to get it right.

gahh, as i thought i need XP, i thought i could hold out on W7 alone but no so i will be trying that XP CD mod and trying a dual boot. So in case i mess shit up, whats the worse case scenario? XD Also i found XP on some forum that said SP3 Integrated July 2011 SATA, is it sata ahci and is it true?

Dami just move to Windows 7, you are part of the IT staff's nightmare that doesn't like to upgrade. Windows 7 is a fine piece of code, quit hanging on to XP.

well i got it worked out today, installed XP with ahci on top of W7. Should have done a clean install for both but w/e. The modded XP CD worked nicely, i cant believe how simple making the CD was compared to changing a freaking resolution on the TV in W7...the image does look awesome on XP so i will just use XP for TV/Video and W7 for rest. Thanks everyone for the help, especially kls85, got everything i wanted worked out thanks to your posts.
