I’m in the process of re-installing ArchLinux on my new Dell Latitude 6530, this is because at the end of the first installation I noticed that while running fdisk -l I received a message like this one (that’s not my original disk, but the message was the same):

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *          63    39070079    19535008+  83  Linux
<strong>Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
</strong>/dev/sda2        39070080    46877669     3903795   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3   *    46877670   144536804    48829567+  86  NTFS volume set
<strong>Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary.
</strong>/dev/sda4       144536805  1250263727   552863461+  86  NTFS volume set
<strong>Partition 4 does not start on physical sector boundary.</strong>
