This makes your Advanced Format disks _really_ slow. Reference: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-4kb-sector-disks/ Expert mode was no help here. I had to reinstall, load parted.udeb and switch to the console to manually define properly alligned partitions. Todays fdisk and parted don't have this alignment problem, so I would strongly recommend to upgrade.
