All of those partitioning programs, including gparted, are older than advanced format drives, and they have all been updated since. BTW advanced formatting (big sectors) has nothing to do with GPT (Gnu Partition Table). My point was that if one tool does not do what you want there is a (small) chance that it was because of a problem with the tool, and there are other tools to choose from. > I say gparted, because under the hood it uses libparted, which is known to > work properly with aligning partitions properly for newer drives.
