Advanced format HDDs
On a multi-partition, multi-boot system, if I install Windows 7 first and format all partitions with Windows 7, do I need to run a partition aligning software for XP on another partition?

It doesn't persist after a format. It's just a matter of where the first sector is started when formatting, making sure to align the beginning of the 512 byte virtual sector to the beginning of the physical 4KB sector.
