When you perform a scan of System Mechanic, showing "your system (C) drive a 152 009 misaligned files (30,26 GB)".

I have a 64 bit HP with a Western Digital drive.  I am running Windows 7 and using the technologies of Iolo System Mechanic 10.5.  When you run the deep analysis SM 10.5 I am constantly getting a report that "your system (C) drive has 152 009 misaligned (30,26 GB) files.  If the system is set to Auto Mode a diskchk is run and no errors or bad sectors are reported.  The 10,5 SM reports the problem is fixed, but it reappears within 24 hours.  In general, I know that this is caused by the way the drive is formatted and the inconsistancies in layers (index etc.).  I think I need to do a full backup and reformat the drive.  Given a 64-bit system the length of the area is 4096 bits (64 ^ 2).  I assumed that the compensation should be set at 63.  Is the proposed solution, how to solve the problem and if it is what are the right setting to repartition the drive?  There is no question, but the lack of alignment, if not corrected does not cause a degradation in performance.  Whenever I go to Microsoft Questions and answers I continue to receive information about 'blue screen' no use that I can see.

It seems to me that Microsoft should have something published to deal with this situation, but I continue to find references to the problem on Microsoft Servers and not the current version of Windows 7.  I think that it is a variant of the same problem, but there is no solution listed that is specific to Windows 7.  It's also frustrating when you look at all the players (it's an HP computer with an installed version of Windows 7, in this case, it means do not call Microsoft because they see it as a problem of HP;) The drive is a Western Digital, but it is installed by HP and if there is something unique about the hardware/firmware by the seller, this means don't call me.  The proplem is identified by Iolo Technologies System Mechanic and I find it almost impossible to contenct them.  Go to a community of experts is a wonderful way to collect information, but I really think that we need a law for the Protection of computer consumers indicating that if you can't get a solution within 7 days you get back the money.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Palcouk. These things are for the most part of snake oil. It is unlikely that something is wrong with your system.

That being said I suggest you try their support site:
