Simple status tool for advanced format

[#1]

It should be easy to find out if an advanced format drive has been aligned or not.

So far I cannot find a way to do this.

Reasons why this would be helpful.

1. User might have forgotten if a drive was aligned for XP or not.

2. Buyers of used drives might need to know.

3. After using certain tools, or partitioning, etc., users might want to do a "sanity check" on the alignment state.

I have some WD hard drives that have been degaussed, is there any way that they can be reused?

Thank you,'
