    Windows 7 partition sizes inconsistant

    Here's what I've done: I added new hard drives to my main rig and installed a fresh install of 7 ultimate alongside a copied install of Arch linux x64. That was fine minus some compatibility issues with Arch (USB3 card mainly). I sinced nuked the arch install and expanded the main 7 partition with parted off a live arch disc (my gparted disc wasn't happy with the system ). After running some command line stuff off a windows 7 disc (to restore the bootloader) I have a bootable 7-only system... but it seems my expanded partition didn't fully update:

    Shows correctly in diskpart:



    (Yes I botched the syntax a bit, most of my CLI knowledge is on the Linux side)

    ...but not in disk properties:



    ... and both ways in disk management:



    Running CHKDSK (well, scheduling it and rebooting) didn't help, no errors detected.

    Suggestions? Or do I need to re-install 7?

          Pro tip, use the windows partitioner to expand next time. Without it in front of me I can't really say what went wrong. Might be reinstall time.

          Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

          You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

          Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

              I didn't think one could do that to the partition holding the OS in use?

              I've used gparted (on the live gparted .iso) to do this in the past without issue... it would trigger an automatic chkdsk on the next windows boot but otherwise AFAIK there wasn't ever an issue.

                  This is why I use Host Raid vs Windows Raid, You set the raid and patitions before Winodws gets to touch it.

                      Umm ok?

                      That's no good for what I was doing... The issue wasn't windows touching it but parted (the linux program) messing up when I was resizing partitions. A risky procedure that I went ahead with... and got bit by. A re-install of 7 fixed it, no further issues.

                          by Junior††


                          Good Afternoon fellas,

                          Issue:
                          Disc is showing as not supported when a disc is put in.

                          Here's what I've done, you can skip this if you just wanna know the question:
                          - replaced with a disc drive from a donor ps5 (honestly questionable if this is known to work)
                          - reflowed the disc drive connector
                          -reflowed the chip in question (shown on image)
                          - I will say this console was very dusty so it's conceivable that it got so hot that it made the chip joints cold and potentially other things on the board

                          Question:
                          I...

                          Can I replace a ceramic disc cap with a multilayer ceramic cap? I cant even find .047 uf disc caps at digikey, mouser or newark. The places I do find them want anywhere from 25c to $3 each, at any quantity, plus shipping....

                          PS5 EDM-020 CFI-1116A Disc Edition - 1 Beep No Power/Light
                          by tccyo22
                          Hi there, I have an EDM-020 CFI-1116A Disc Edition PS5. It originally had the 3 beeps on power which after grabbing a known working BIOS for this board and model it now will beep once every 20 seconds hitting the power button but will not turn on.

                          So far I have checked all voltage rails and everything seems to be present from 12v all the way down to 0.8v rails. However I am unable to connect to and read the UART and get error codes. Also something I found in my measurements is the bank of coils for the APU read 0.3ohms. Now I know that CPU/GPU lines have low resistance but I'm not...
