[ale] Realigning a partition with data

Just swapped out a spinning drive for an SSD but I probably need to
realign the partitions.  Currently everything is in one partition at the
start of the disk but it's on sector 63.  I can pop the disk out and
plug it into another machine to do this but I'd like to slide the
partition over to the right spot (assuming this doesn't affect the boot
process).  I haven't found a way to do this as nearly every page I find
talks about having parted align new partitions but not those that have data.
