Raspberry Pi Case

 i dont know whether you guys still remember this, or ever used this :D . But i found one at my house. the base box gave me an idea that i should build my raspberry pi's case around it. since the box is a little bigger than the raspi board, it simply provide me with an ample room to incorporate a 16x2 display into it. now i no longer need to plug it into my tv to get the ip address like before

Before 

everything is left in open air. with cable going on every side of the board

After

now it is much easier is my router somehow assign new ipAddress to my Raspberry Pi.

some more pics

routing the usb port to the back of the case. worst soldering ever. i dont know why my hand wont stop shaking while doing this.

 the board mount is made from scrap plastic leftover of my previous pc build. thanks to Mr. Epoxy for holding all the plastic pieces securely :D

[ last peek before it is closed for good.  the gpio>lcd cable are all soldered (got no time to test it on breadboard, i simply soldered it directly)  lol!

GPTvsMBR style formatting

Select disk you want to install windows
disk 1
windows cannot be installed on GPT style partition

wut de hel???

First time ever i've come across the "GPT formatting style" the GPT stands for GUID Partition Table.. it turns out that the GPT style partition is just a new style(not new actually, 2005) of partition that allows the partition to be more than 2Tb, for further info, search it.

since this type of formatting doesn't allow windows to be installed, so the partition need to be converted into MBR style. I tried it with diskpart, but it says "partition need to be empty". after some fiddling i found the way to convert it.

The trick is: go to disk management and delete the partition to make it a RAW storage.
*make sure you backup everything
1.Enter command prompt
2.type "diskpart" Enter *run as administrator
3.type "list disk"
4. select the disk you want to convert by typing "select disk n" replace "n" with the drive number
5.type "convert"
6.type "mbr"

the same still applies when you need to convert MBR to GPT style..but type gpt instead of mbr
