NOTE:
Toshiba recommends that you do NOT change the Paragon Alignment Tool default settings for Data Projection or for
Checking File System Integrity. The default settings provide the best protection against possible data loss. Consult
the Paragon Alignment Tool User Manual for more information about PAT settings. For additional protection against
possible data loss, a free downloadable Linux Recovery CD Utility is available (see item 6 above). This creates a CD that can
be used to boot the system should the normal system boot files on the disk drive become inoperable due to an interruption of
the alignment process. For more information, consult the Recovery CD utility information in the Paragon Alignment Tool User
Manual.
While Running the Paragon Alignment Tool Software to Align a Toshiba AF 512e Drive:
Do not interrupt the alignment operation once started.
- If an interruption occurs during the alignment process, restart the Paragon Alignment Tool application. If the
interruption occurred during the alignment of the boot partition, the user may need to use the Linux Recovery CD utility to boot
the system and resume the alignment process in order to restore normal boot capability. For more information see the
Paragon Alignment Tool User Manual.
The length of time required for the alignment process depends on the storage capacity of the disk drive and the amount of stored data.
You may need to restart your computer to complete the alignment process.
