disk utility reporting misaligned partition which may result in a very poor performance

[ishaan]

I performed a fresh install on my dell vostro laptop 1450. During installation i chose erase entire disk and use ubuntu option. after the installation was complete i opened disk utility which is shows an error message that /dev/sda2 is misaligned by 1024 bytes and this may result in very poor performance repartitioning is suggested. i have performed fresh install repartitioned and also a fresh manual partition. Every time the same error. I am using ubuntu 11.04.

PLease suggest what should i do..

i tried fedora 16 and there was absolutely no problem with it...
i did a fresh install of fedora and checked with disk utility there was no
misaligned partition there.
