I really screwed up. I was trying to clone my disk with Aomie partition assistant. Once it was cloned the clone wasn't recognised in BIOS. I tried to convert to GPT, but I converted the wrong disk. Which was my actual OS. I think where I originally fkd up is that I choose clone disk instead of migrate OS Disk 2 is what I'm trying to save. I convert the 1st partition back to Fat32 and it still won't be recognised in the BIOS So now I have 2 ssd's with unbootable OS's How to fix this?

Summary Sepp Hochreiter is the scientist who invented Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in the 90s. LSTM is the technical foundation for a lot of modern AI-based tech, including Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Translate, Google Voice, Google DeepMind's StarCraft II agent and OpanAI Five (a Dota 2 agent). He and his team at the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria have developed a model which based on preliminary tests yields better results than GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. However, he cannot develop and test it further because Austria does not offer enough funding for AI research. Sepp Hochreiter Quotes [Words in square brackets] have been added by me to provide context and explanations. My thoughts The original article by Austrian media predominantly focuses on problems of AI research funding in Austria. However, I believe that the news that there is an LSTM-based LLM that is faster than GPT-4 and that can take more information as context thanks to its usage of LSTM should be news enough in itself to get international attention. It seems that due to the lack of state funding, the technology is destined to end up in the hands of a gigantic corporation like Amazon or Facebook, instead of being released publicly (i.e., freely and openly).

Summary The sudden popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT has prompted global officials to explore ways to use AI for good, while preventing its misuse for disinformation and criminal activity. Mayorkas announced the formation of an Artificial Intelligence Task Force to responsibly utilize AI for homeland security, including applications like cargo screening and protection of electric grids and water supply systems. Quotes My thoughts I think its good that officials are considering the implications of having generally accessible AI tools this early, hopefully it turns into something good and not another over-reach by Government agencies.

Summary If your python doesn't even compile, no worries! GPT-4 can fix most of the bugs, and most likely will figure out what you meant. Quotes My thoughts What could go wrong? Letting GPT-4 just keep pounding away at your machine might lead to an AI takeover but in the process it'll probably fix your bugs...

Some context before the question (and apologies for the length): I had an Asus G752VS gaming laptop like, one and a half years ago, until I spilled tea on it. I immediately shut it down and turned it over to dry, but that didn't save so I have sent it to Amazon Protect, which ended me being able to claim a full refund (because it'd take a long time to get the parts needed for the fix). Before I sent it though, I had to get my data from my NVMe drive inside and delete my work related documents (company policy to not disclose any info about me and the company, even like contracts etc.). So I ordered an enclosure, put the drive in and plugged it to my Pi 3B and got my files. However, during the process the drive was disconnecting, not being able to connect for 10-15mins, and then can be reconnected again. I managed to get my files, delete the ones I needed to be gone from the drive, and formatted it with MBR for good measure (again, company policy) before putting it back in the laptop. I always thought it was a temperature issue. However, the repairer at Amazon Protect deemed it broken and wanted to replace (which in the end it did not happen). Regardless, I asked if I can get my drives back (since the HDD was fine, and wanted the data on it if I can), and they have graciously sent both back. Recently I wanted to do a full health check on the NVMe drive and to see if it's ok to use, to install it on my PC. It was doing the same thing. I first full-formatted it (knowing that filling with 0s will degrade some life out of the drive), but that did not change it as well. In addition, when I plugged it in to my motherboard, it did not show up at the next boot. At last, when I changed its system from MBR to GPT, with an enclosure, I never saw the issue of connecting it to my PC. So I am not sure if the MBR was the issue (which from what I know, shouldn't be related to) or the drive is simply in an almost-dead state. Is there a way to check the health of the drive fully? I already did surface tests with partition managers and the disk check from cmd in Windows, which shows no issues.

I have an issue where windows says in the convert process "Cannot find room for EFI system partition" "MBR2GPT: Converstion fail" and I don't know how to fix this and I need help. I have tried everything from resizing a partition, to move partitions and nothing. I wanted to try using DISKPART, but that would wipe the drive and I don't want to do on my laptop. Can someone please explain and help me figure out why I am getting this error?

hello all, maybe i need to put the context of the build to better understand the question in the title. and if there's another thread that asked this question but in "the correct terminology", sorry for posting an already answered question. also, if there's another solution for my problem, every suggestion would be helpfull. so this is my PC, an old LGA1156 System still using BIOS, not UEFI. and for the longest time i have just using a 1TB HDD for boot drive & also storage. i've ran out of space, so i bought a 6TB HDD. but as soon as i plugged it in, it only read 2TB of it. after a quick google troubleshooting, it's because my windows install is still using MBR, so it can't read more than 2TB. so i tried to reinstall my OS, making sure in Rufus to select GPT. got into the BIOS and then trying to boot to the USB, and it won't even recognize my USB. ---------------------------------------------------so here's the problem i've encountered--------------------------------------------------- 1. because i'm using an MBR OS, i can't use my 6TB Drive 2. because it's still using a motherboard with BIOS, i can't install Windows using GPT. ----------------------------------------------------------and here's my full question------------------------------------------------------------ i am forced to use MBR on my OS, so is there a way for me to format my 6TB HDD using GPT? is it possible, will it even solve my problem? in case you need all the neccesary info, this is my spec: Motherboard : Acer Veriton M680G Salvaged Motherboard OS : Windows 10 21H1 Edition still with "activate windows" watermark RAM :12GB on a SODIMM to DIMM adapter CPU : Secondhand Intel Xeon X3470 @2.93GHz GPU : unbranded nVidia GT720... also salvaged HDD : 1TB Seagate & 6TB WD Purple note : build was inspired mostly by linus. especially the SODIMM to DIMM Adapter, i went full scrapyard wars on this pc.

I recently decided to upgrade my PC's RAM by adding two 8GB sticks to the present two 8GB sticks. I have done this before on other PCs with minimal issues. This time gave me more trouble, with the two new sticks never being recognized no matter what steps I took. The only settings I've ever edited in my BIOS are the RAM setting, enabling DOCP to get my RAM to it's advertised speed. I thought, maybe setting those back to default would help, putting all the RAM sticks at the same settings makes sense to me, and since the MoBo ran fine prior on it's default settings, this seemed harmless to me. Famous last words I guess. Upon booting up after setting things to default, my boot priority menu was blank, along with the boot menu. The BIOS recognized both my SSD and my CD ROM as storage devices, but not as bootable options. After some troubleshooting of my own, I ended up enabling the Launch CSM option, and it worked. Everything booted up normal, besides the new RAM, but that's no longer the priority. However, with some more research, I came to find that my SDD and CD ROM are now categorized as MBR, and not GPT. From what I can tell. MBR is a older partition style, and GPT is now the norm, supporting more storage, drives, and is more stable; but I also never looked at my partition style before. Who would unless you need to? From what I've read online, without using third party software, changing partition style requires you to delete the partition, which I'm pretty sure erases your data. So how did my drives become MBR, by accident, and without erasing any data? Did my drives convert? Is there a chance that all of my drives were MBR to begin with? The PC was built in 2020, so it's not old. How did my boot priority list get wiped just from putting BIOS settings back to default? Is it possible I have been on CSM Legacy the whole time? Maybe the BIOS saw MBR drives on the initial boot up and changed that setting on it's own. Is that a thing? If my drives did convert from GPT to MBR somehow without losing any data, should I risk going back to GPT? My Motherboard is an Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus. Thanks for any responses.

Summary Cyber-Defense campus, a research arm of the Swiss DoD in everything related to cyber-security and cyber-defense, has released a first version of its report on the impact Large Language Models could have on cyber-security. After an introduction of the tech behind LLM, reviewing current models, and citing some fundamental limitations, they list the main threats they see, with the ones most relevant to the LTT audience being: - Phishing, especially when they have already compromised a system and can use Microsoft Office 365 Copilot - Ability to search better and deeper and have summarization of findings - Vulnerability of the code generated by them, unlikely to be detected by beginner coders most likely to use them to write code - Private information leakage from interactions with models when they are learning from interactions - Hijacking systems that are controlled by LLMs (a bit like SQL injections) In the part where they review Bing Chat and GPT-4, they cite and link the Feb 10th WAN show with a timestamp as the source for their evaluation of abilities and the most likely architecture and training modes used to achieve it. Quotes My thoughts Looks like a report that falls straight into the intersection of the currently two hot topics for LTT over the last couple of months. I would have been curious to hear Luke's take on the subject. Also, watching professionally and with straight face Linus and Luke going nuts live for almost an hour, Two Soyjacks style, might have been a new experience for some of them.

I formatted a drive in the Windows installation process and installed Windows 10, but I can't boot into the drive I installed it on. It says there's around 20gb occupied so Windows must be installed on it, but there was a message that said it didn't have the right formatting and said something about GPT. What do I need to do? I don't have another PC handy

Hello, I finished installing my Samsung SSD and needed to do a Secure Erase because of some issues. I was wondering whether I should set the the partion to MBR or GPT? I will be Migrating my current C Partition over to the M.2 drive later. I do not have a product key because this was a laptop and I do not plan on buying or reinstalling a fresh copy of windows without a key.

Hello Forum, I have created a problem for myself. I'm hoping you can assist me in resolving it without the need to reinstall Windows 7 Professional. My boot drive is a 500GB Samsung SSHD in GPT format which is recommended for SSHD. I boot on an ASUS Z170-A LGA1151 Motherboard. I was recently playing around with VeraCrypt, a branch off of Truecrypt software, when I must have tried to encrypt the whole drive where the OS resides instead of encrypting a drive I had plugged in via USB. Not just the OS partition, but the whole drive. The program encountered an error stating that the drive was in use or active or something and did not allow me to continue. I then realized I had selected the wrong process and proceeded with the correct encryption method. Long story short, I ran the computer without rebooting for over a week when suddenly I had issues transferring files to portable medium. As soon as I restart my PC, I lost the ability to boot. The motherboard will post, attempt to boot the drive, then fail to ASUS UEFI without any error messages. None. Just a white line before UEFI. I've since installed and boot other OS partitions to my ASUS without issues so I do not believe my motherboard is the problem. I have taken the affected drive and installed in different computers and it will also not boot there. The storage partition is completely intact. I can browse every file on the disk when connected to a different PC but there is a 1MB partition before my OS partition that I believe is corrupted. I've attempted Windows startup repair from a CD and that didn't work. I've run fdisk on the drive. I believe I have corrupted the boot partition, but I'm only firmiliar with MBR repair, I have no experience rebuilding GPT /EFI information. I did not yet have a backup of this drive. I've created an image of this drive in case I screw something up. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to manually rebuild the boot partition for a GPT drive? I appreciate the help,

Yesterday I was scamed by someone who said to be from Microsoft. Anyway, I am now locked out of my computer and want to just wipe everything off my harddrive and do a clean installation of windows 10. However the windows key that I own is windows 8.1 and the ability to upgrade to windows 10 for free is not valid anymore. Is there any chance that windows know that I upgraded my key while the option was avaliable and could offer to upgrade me now? Also, I downloaded a windows 10 iso file to an usb stick but when I try to install windows on to that SSD it just tells me that it can't be done because my chosen disk has a MBR while windows can only be installed on GPT discs. What is the deal here? Did the guy reform my SSD or something? The harddrive The SSD is an120GB kingston.

So I'm REALLY confused tight now. There's so much to ask but i don't know where to begin, so I guess I start from the beginning... I recently bought an upgrade to my PC and ended up with this: Ryzen 5 1600 w/ wraith spire cooling MSI B350 Gaming pro carbon Corsair vengence LPX DDR4 3200MHz CL16 16GB MSI gtx 960 (this wasn't upgraded) Crucial BX100 256GB SSD (This wasn't upgraded) WD Caviar Blue 500GB 7200RPM (This wasn't upgraded) The rest I think is not needed but tell me if you want it. And here is a list of my problems/concerns/confusion and what made me go crazy: 1. I don't know what is Windows 10 WHQL support 2. I installed new BOX windows 10 64/32 bit USB but on the non UEFI mode because of this error: windows can only be installed to gpt disks 3. If I switched the whql support, would I be able to install the UEFI windows 10? 4. Does this have to do with my board not recognizing my DVD drive plugged into SATA3 port and that I can see 4 USB drives in windows though they don't exist? (E:/ F:/ G:/ and H:/) 5. does this have to do with my audio problem? 6. Should I update my bios to v15? I have v14 7. Should I reinstall windows but this time with WHQL support enabled and with UEFI mode? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's that the USB windows stick has 2 install modes: w/ and w/o UEFI and I don't know anything else about it) 8. Why can't I turn my ram to 3200MHz though the board can read it's XMP profile, changes it to the profile but still shows ram running 2133MHz (the ram is tested for 3200MHz by the manufacturer on their website (search for CMK16GX4M2B3200C16R) and is even samsung B-Die) 9. And last but not least, Can I kill myself now? Because I hate this sh*t and I'm going crazy. If it sounds confusing to you, it's because it is. AMA if you need more explanation over this situation. and please tell me quickly if I should reinstall, because I don't want to settle down too much and have to format everything again. EDIT: Audio is solved, trying the reinstall tomorrow morning, will update my status EDIT2: DVD is working now, I had a bad SATA cable EDIT3: reinstalled windows, did all the stuff you told me to and most of the problems are fixed. I also updated bios which significantly improved post time and now after leaving bios it turns on and off a few times but eventually boots up. Above you can see the remaining problems.

So I closed my SSD to my NVMe and even though my NVMe was supposed to be GPT, because my SSD (Win 10 OS) had MBR, it converted the NVMe to MBR. I tried using the mbr2gpt tool in windows\system32 but kept getting an error. After looking deeper into it, I realized it was because my BIOS mode was in legacy (verified in System Information). How do I change this without reinstalling Windows 10 from a USB? I already changed in my motherboard's BIOS from legacy to UEFI but this doesn't seem to affect the BIOS mode in Windows. I'm pretty sure this is all that's preventing me from converting my NVMe from MBR to GPT.

Evening all, In need of some serious help. This evening has entailed a lot of recalibration of my plex server. Somehow.. don't ask how, 2 drives do not want to show themselves on boot without a third party program to nudge them into action. nothing mechanical related however I suspect some how the partition orders are not right as it appears that the drive does not assign a drive letter. manage to do so and it work fine... until I reboot when it goes back to normal. Ive been doing this via Mini Tool Partition wizard pro and it seems to work. My thinking is that the wrong path is linked atm toward my 2 drives some how or the Boot record is messed up. could anybody help get me out as I'm lost... Oh it says the drives are empty... most certainly not empty and defo there!

Hi, I'm currently installing windows 10 on my pc. While installing I receive a message called " Windows can only install on GPT " I know how to convert, but I have another question regarding this issue. What I did is, I bring cmd while installing by pressing Shift + f10. ME on CMD : diskpart ME on CMD : list disk CMD to ME : showing list of disk (It shows only the hard drive not partition) ME on CMD : select disk 1 CMD to ME : disk 1 is selected ME on CMD : list partition CMD to ME : Showing list of partition ME on CMD : Select partition 1 (My partition contain files and I need to format only one partition) CMD to ME : Partiton 1 is selected My question is If I write clean, does format only the selected partition or entire hard drive ? I really don't want to format entire hard disk, because it contain my 300 gb project file that I done so for. So please help me out, I need an answer. I would really appreciated If I got a quick replay Thanks Warm regards Prasanth B

Near as I can tell, the PC h tried hardware is working. I am trying to install Windows on a 500 GB Samsung EVO SSD. The first time I tried i had an error message that I thought I resolved by unplugging the mechanical HDD I had installed, leaving the SSD as the sole storage. Windows began installing. I looked away from the screen for a bit and looked back up and saw I was back at the install screen. I tried to start the installation again but got an error message at the screen where I have to select the drive to install Windows. The first time (without the HDD connected) the SSD had no partitions. But this time "Drive 0" had 2 partitions. Partition 1 System Reserved 579.0 MB and Partition 2 465.2 GB. But "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. Near as I can tell the Windows installer must have been the one to partition the disk. But my question is how do I reformat the drive as a GPT disk without having an OS installed? Is there a way to get the Bios to format the drive? Thanks.

Hi, I recently upgraded my PC from my old i7 3770k to a Ryzen 5 3600 on an ASRock B450 mainboard. I had very long POST times and wanted to enable UltraFast Boot. As UltraFast Boot needs a GPT boot device I had to convert my Samsung 840 SSD (with my old but perfectly working Windows 10 still installed) bootsector from MBR to GPT. I did this with EaseUS Partition Manager and it worked just fine. After the conversion finished I changed to UltraFast Boot (which of course also disabled CSM) and now my MadCatz R.A.T. 7's drivers aren't working anymore. The mouse and it's virtual "Programming Support" device are shown as not working with Code 52 in device manager because Windows cannot verify the signature of the driver. When I set the mouse's driver to a generic HID driver I can still use it but all advanced features don't work. I already uninstalled the driver I had installed and installed the newest driver from the MadCatz website. It still shows up with error 52. There are no lower filters and only one upper filter (aside from the mouse class one) which is from Kaspersky probably. I already uninstalled KIS, still the same. I could probably get it to work by disabling driver signature enforcement but I would like to avoid that. I would be very thankful for any help resolving this issue. My next ideas are sfc, dism repair and an inplace upgrade. Best regards Colin PS: specs just FYI: Windows 10 1909 Pro and up-to-date, Ryzen 3600 on ASRock B450 Fatal1ty K4 with 16GB 3200MHz RAM, STRIX Vega64, 4HDDs, 2SSDs, 2ODDs...

I've come across this issue a couple of times, but have never found a fix. Hopefully someone knows a long term fix for this. I have a 5TB Toshiba X300 that is plugged into my computer (Win 10) through a USB 3.0 dock. It is formated as 1 large GPT partion and has data on it, and it all works fine. When I take the drive out and plug it into another Windows 10 (via SATA or USB), the computer tries to detect the drive as MBR, and the partition appears as a 1.99GB GPT Protective Partition. I cannot convert it to GPT with Windows "Computer Management" or EaseUS Partition Master. If I put the drive back into my USB 3.0 adapter to my computer again, it's back to a 5TB GPT partition and is fully functional As an aside, I had to format the drive when I went from internal SATA to the USB 3.0 drive on my PC, because I this issues. Why is this drive's GPT format not being detected correctly when it's switched from one PC to another, or one interface to another? Is there a fix? Thank you!

Installing F4 from F3 worked fine, but after installing BIOS F5a on a Gigabyte Aorus Master sTRX40, my Windows installation would not boot. I thought the BIOS wasn't seeing the drive etc etc so I booted from a disc and did startup repair and then it went straight in! I noticed that I no longer have a UEFI partition, or a system reserved partition. Instead I have a random 128MB partition as the F: drive letter on my SSD and a 261MB unallocated partition. My secondary HDD also has a random 185MB unallocated partition. Running system information showed the BIOS mode is Legacy! I have no idea how this has happened! I have never ever converted from UEFI to Legacy! Also in disk management if I right click the SSD, it says "convert to GPT" as greyed out implying it has also been converted to MBR in the process. Please can somebody explain how I can convert it back to UEFI, convert it back to GPT, and get the necessary partitions back so I can boot up and undo what Windows has done? Thank you in advance!
