    For win8? You shouldn't. I believe the alignment issues were only on xp.
    But, I can point you in the right direction...
    Look up info about offsets

    In Windows 7 is possible create partitions before installation Windows 7, with cmd.exe and diskpart. In Windows 8 is possible too, I think.

    create part prim size=XXXXXX align=1024

    XXXXXX=MB

    Yes, but that is to partition MBR.

    Just unplug any other hard disk, once on setup, remove all partitions and let windows re-create them, they will be aligned to 1024 and created according to efi.
