Using Firefox for Android, I get this message on some 'standard' websites when trying to watch videos:

>no video with supported mime type found

yet they work fine in chrome.

Anyone know a good reclining chair that is:
>NOT leather
>has a weight capacity of 250-300 lbs (~110-140kg)
>can also spin

As an added bonus:
>has wheels. But this is NOT necessary

I REALLY need a computer chair that can also replace my bed.

I've heard DxRacer is good, but I've also heard it's bad for your back, and that the seller sometimes ships with missing parts...

Anyone know something that would be good for about 16/7? (16h/d, 7d/wk)

You can do light video editing on most anything, but for heavier stuff you probably want a desktop with a workstation card, and not at a budget of $500. Whatever you spend, you'll get more for your $ on a desktop.

Hey, just got a T430 (wrong thread amirite?) and it's my first ever laptop and I'm just wondering if I should keep it plugged into the outlet while its in sleep mode? And should I let it sleep instead of turning it completely off?

It has an SSD so boot times are not that severe either.

>>56957282
In KLWP, you can make it so the background changes when you swipe left or right, at least from what I remember.

>>56957302
ty, ill try it out

>>56957297
>should keep it plugged into the outlet while its in sleep mode
Depends on when you put it in sleep mode.

If it's just overnight, then it will likely last the whole night in sleep mode. You could try testing this if you wanted to see how long it lasts.

If you had to ask me, I'd say shutting it down is better than leaving it in safe mode, just because I've had tons of problems with my laptop deciding to either go into sleep mode or just deciding not to go into sleep mode and letting the battery drain to 0. It's not the same laptop as yours (or even a thinkpad), but either saving the session and shutting down or just shutting down is my recommendation.

Treat the battery nicely, though. You should already know what rules to follow regarding charging and such (otherwise you wouldn't of asked this question).

sup lads, apologies is this sounds extra stupid.

looking to build a new cheapish workstation for my old man's business, but i've only had experience building gaymen PC.

as far as GPUs go, should i be looking something with integrated graphics, or is a dedicated GPU a better options? he also uses dual screens, if that changes anything.

also, if i set up a RAID storage thingo for him on the home/business network, is there any way that data can be secured without having to teach him anything more complex than entering a password to access it?

>>56957251
Never used that specific app, but piratebay could be reporting the stats wrong, have outdated info, or some of those seeders might not be connectable for whatever reason. Or the app could just be fucked somehow, as I said never used it, but might be worth trying on a PC with your usual client of choice on the same torrent to be sure it's not that.

Also if you're trying to download from a public wifi they could block or throttle torrents, this is a pretty common practice nowadays. Even in places like hotels they are pretty commonly throttled.

>>56957386
If he's doing 3D or whatever, than the GPU would be necessary. I can run dual monitors fine on integrated Skylake graphics.

KLWP isn't communicating with Nova for some reason. I've tried other multiwallpaper apps, but Nova won't let them through.

Will it hurt my phone's battery life any to leave it on and plugged in all night, every night?

Some guys on android forum suggested this as a "solution" to my problem of having to enter my password every time I boot up due to the changes in a newer firmware version. Don't particularly like this idea, since I liked giving my phone and battery a break while I slept, but curious what the ramifications would be.

>>56957620
No.

The few times you'll ever use math for basic or intermediate programs, you'll find it's rather straightforward to actually do it or find something on SO (stack overflow) or just anywhere else.

Depending on what you end up programming, math could either start getting really complex really fucking quickly (anything involving any sort of graphics at all, anything that requires reading environment values, etc.), but for software development and web development and such, there's not too much math to be worried about.

If I work in IT , will I be on-call everyday?

USB devices randomly disconnect and reconnect, while some ports just don't work (but register devices being plugged in/ ejected). I already tried changing power settings to prevent usb sleeping and reinstalled the usb drivers for my mobo, but neither did anything.

It appears that the problem has something to do with windows, since I tried to replicate (random stutters and disconnects) it in knoppix but couldn't.

Remember how I said "anything involving any sort of graphics at all"?

With games you're going to have to deal with vectors (directions + a magnitude) and matrices (n-dimensional arrays) which involves linear algebra (more painful version of precalc).

You'll find, though, the math gets easier the more you program with it. Don't give up just because there's going to be bumps in the road later on, you're not going to be building games that require much linear algebra for a while.

I want to work in tech, preferably from home - I'm willing to buy books and learn but not go to college what do I do?

>>56958132
I don't know how you could be lazy at learning something you want to learn.

I mean, I'm very lazy. I frequently put everything off, even when I know I don't have any time left. I pretty much never did my homework in school, and I knew that was hurting me, but I did nothing about it.

I still liked learning some stuff, though. I taught myself a bit of calculus (looking back, I didn't end up that proficient at it, but I wouldn't be here today if I didn't do that), taught myself Java (for the school robotics team), as well as some random history and other computer stuff.

You have to choose at least one path in life:
>do shit you don't like and don't waste time on shit you do like
>do shit you don't like and shit you like
>don't do shit you don't like and do shit you do like
>don't do anything at all

Three of those paths end with you being successful, and only two of those three paths end with a happy life. By the sounds of it, you don't even end up in those three paths.

Possible virus? If you're positive you don't have a virus, you likely corrupted something in windows. You probably should backup all your files, reformat, reinstall windows 7 (or gentoo). Of course, you should still research online for it, if you haven't already.

>>56958094
Updates in firefox and such don't require a full reinstall, it only requires a single file or so to be changed. There's usually an update available every so often in non rolling release distros, just because the dependencies don't change that much, and therefore it can recompile or just make a simple edit every so often.

>>56958138
>I'm willing to buy books and learn but not go to college what do I do?

Go to college and just use the books. Skip the lectures if possible and read instead. You could also just read the books first, then take a proficiency test or whatever it's called and get moved up pretty far.

>>56958283
I understand how that feels, and I really don't know how to help you. When I was a kid, I was prescribed vyvanse, which pretty much took over my work ethic. If I don't take my medicine for a week or so, I'll start becoming apathetic and will lose my work ethic. I hate what vyvanse does to my personality and I hate what it does to my body, but the only way I get motivation to do something is with vyvanse. Because of that, I have no idea how to help you without the use of drugs, which I also don't recommend. Vyvanse, for me, also removed a bit of depression (not really, it's still there, but I don't focus on it as much anymore). You could see a therapist or psychiatrist, which I'm surprised I spelled correctly. They'll probably help you out more than my blogpost here will.

>>56958356
Then I don't understand non-rolling releases at all, do you know where I could get more information on that?
I mean, I thought I would never get updates besides security patches here and there.

>>56958426

Either way, you can still update through the actual application itself:

Every so often, though, major updates will be pushed to the main tree (e.g. python)

>>56958644
Forgot to mention i use stock cooler

>>56958601
>how does that drug work? does it just motivate you to do stuff?

Vyvanse, or lisdexamphetamine, stimulates the CNS (centeral nervous system) which causes a more alert and wakeful feeling. Because of this, you can focus on a specific task better. It doesn't actually make you any better at the task, nor does it provide a sense of urgency to complete a task, but it does allow you to tune everything else out and focus on one thing for a very long time. You can lose track of time (or get in "flow") easily, and unintentionally.

The thing is, Vyvanse has more effects than just that. It also increases dopamine release (as well as some other receptor I forgot about, but that other receptor essentially relaxes you). Dopamine is involved in arousal (not sexual, it means awakened), some motor control, motivation (literal motivation to do anything), and finally dopamine is most well known for its role in the "reward" system, which is basically a way of reinforcing actions to cause them to happen more often. It isn't the only neurotransmitter involved in the reward system, and you shouldn't think it is, but it does play a role.

Vyvanse has more effects, including some bad ones, but I'm not going to get into that. I guess I should mention it's normally prescribed for ADD, or any related disorder.

tl;dr yes it does motivate me.

>>56958644

i can pretty much tune everything out on my own, so i guess this would be pointless, even if i do have add

>>56958846
>even if i do have add
If you have ADD, then you should seriously consider trying to get your doctor to prescribe it to you. Being able to tune things out is one thing, but being able to fully devote your attention to something is different.

I can somewhat tune things out without vyvanse. I'm not even prescribed for that purpose. I don't actually have ADD, I have something else I'd rather 4chan and the archives to not know about.

Before you do anything, though, I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist and getting their opinion.

Because you have to restart the environment. You could easily do that just by restarting your computer. If after you restart, your computer freaks out with random characters, you're going to have to boot from disk and undo what you did or something similar.

Does anyone know a GNU/Linux distro you can install onto a Macbook Air (late 2010 model) that just werks?

I've wrecked OS X, the EFI and recovery partitions etc, down to a blank hard drive now. Pic related

since the latest windows update my computer keeps freezing in brief intervals, like around 4 seconds when switching from my browsers to other programs on my pc, or even like a brief 1-2 second freeze when I press start. Sometimes the freeze goes for longer and if I keep clicking or typing my computer starts beeping. Is there a fix for this?

>>56959648
Any Ubuntu flavor. Mint. Both of those come with plenty of drivers and support Mac well.

There may be a separate disc you can download that works better with Macs. I know they sued to do that, dunno now.

>>56959661
Uninstall the bum update. If that doesn't help, system restore.

>>56959683
how do you revert to the version just before the update?

Also does doing this delete stuff you created lately or anything?

What's the difference between turning the computer off, waiting 10 seconds for complete power down, and then restarting it, compared to hitting the restart button from within Windows?
What's the proper terminology for both these kinds of reboots?

>>56959693
>how do you revert to the version just before the update?
Settings, updates and security, updates, update history, uninstall updates. Or if it was an actual new build of Win10, try recovery options and then go back to a previous build instead of uninstall an update.

>Also does doing this delete stuff you created lately or anything?
Removing updates and going back to a previous build don't. System restore doesn't undo your data files, but does wipe out any programs you installed or updates since.

So far xorg only starts my first installed DE (Cinnamon.) I want to try-out E17, but

So I recently got an RX 470 and it came with a molex to 6 pin adapter (initially I thought it was a crossfire cable), but I've been using just a free 6-pin from my power supply.

It feels like the card has been underperforming though and I thought this was because my CPU / MOBO was bottlenecking it, but have I been supposed to be using this adapter the whole time (does it provide more power than just a 6-pin by itself)? Or is it just for if you don't have a 6-pin free?

Pic is what the adapter looks like.

>>56960035
Isnt that just a Molex>PCIe adapter?

What are you trying to do with your RX 470, remember its a budget card.

I'm trying to overclock my EVGA card using EVGA Precision XOC, while I was doing that I tried fiddling with the voltage options and realized they don't actually do anything. In the settings menu there's an option for overvoltage that is unchecked, I'm assuming that's why it wouldn't let me change the voltage of the card. The problem is, it doesn't let me check that option, does anyone know why?

>>56960059
>Isnt that just a Molex>PCIe adapter?

I'm not sure, both of the molexes have 3 metal prongs instead of 4 and the 6-pin is missing one prong.

What would I use this for?

>>56956351
SQL

>>56960083
Probably is if you don't have a 6 pin PCIe cable.
You don't really need it.

Why do you feel your card is underperforming, if it wasn't receiving enough power you would notice BSOD or the card wouldn't work at all.

>>56960031
They've been replaced with Usenet and web forums. Dialing in to individual boards over landlines with a modem to access them was clunky, not to mention expensive for both the user and the BBS operator.

>>56960083
Molex has 5v and 12v, PCIe only needs the 12v
Not sure why the PCIe connector would be missing a pin though

>>56960103
>Why do you feel your card is underperforming

Basically it's performing just as well as my 7870 did except this time I have a different motherboard which might be throttling both my CPU and GPU.

My CPU especially doesn't get hot enough when I'm playing games.

They're both pretty old at this point, CPU is an AMD Phenom II X4 955 and MOBO is a ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 R2.0

>>56960139
Actually one of the pins on the 6 pin PCIe connector isn't used, so that's normal.

>>56960035
>Or is it just for if you don't have a 6-pin free?
Yeah, it's for that.

>>56960144
Motherboard is irrelevant to GPU throttling, specially on a low end one.

>>56960174
But if a MOBO is throttling the CPU won't this also throttle the GPU?

>>56960035
RX 470 owner here, hasn't choked on anything I throw at it yet at 1080p. I'm using a thing from my power supply that fit into the thing on the graphics card by default (6 pins)

Are desktop Bitcoin wallets still a thing? What are some good free software wallets?

>>56960187
Your motherboard isn't throttling your CPU, your CPU is just old.

>>56960201
Yeah I heard it was a good card just for single monitor 1080p gaming and about 40% stronger than a 7870 making it a worthy upgrade.

Probably is my MOBO being a cunt, I'll be looking to upgrade it and my CPU around Christmas anyway.

>>56960221
I've used Electrum. Dunno how it is these days.

>>56960226
Then why doesn't its temperature change much in games?

Like it's idle temp is around 37 - 40 and only spikes up about 5 - 7 degrees under load when it should be getting close to the high 50s and low 60s range.

I'm trying to understand how ports and port forwarding works with applications on a network.

It's my current undthat if you scan a port on a device and there is no application or service listening on that port on the device, the port still not be detected as open.

But if you have an application or service running on the device that is listening on that port, like, say, a Minecraft server, and the port is scanned, it should return as open, because the port is listening for connections.

Am I misunderstanding how it works?

I am not forwarding any ports to my device in pic related. I have UPnP enabled which, to my understanding, should allow applications and services to forward a port on the fly when the service is established. But I'm not sure if my understanding of UPnP is correct, either.

>>56960685
Either your router is not forwarding the port, or your Windows Firewall is blocking it.

To my knowledge Minecraft does not ask for port forwards using UPnP, so that wouldn't help you. You need to go to your router's config page, usually something like 192.168.1.1, log in, and set up the port forward.

Note that if your PC's IP changes inside your network, you will need to change that port forward's destination IP. You can prevent this by setting up a static lease for your PC so it will always get the same IP, or set a static IP in Windows that's outside the range the router will assign through DHCP.

If the port is forwarded and it still shows up as closed or stealth, check in Windows Firewall. Check that your network type is Home in network and sharing center.

>>56960748
>>56960761
Thanks.

>Either your router is not forwarding the port, or your Windows Firewall is blocking it.

I have Windows Firewall disabled in Windows since I have the router firewall configured well enough that I don't really have any security issues that would warrant a software firewall on this machine. I guess the port isn't being forwarded, but then that leaves me a bit confused, since people outside my network can connect to the server without me manually forwarding the port.

>To my knowledge Minecraft does not ask for port forwards using UPnP, so that wouldn't help you. You need to go to your router's config page, usually something like 192.168.1.1, log in, and set up the port forward.

Well, the server works just fine. People outside of my network can connect to it no problem, so I figured the UPnP was working. I haven't done any manual port forwarding since I figured everything was fine. If Minecraft doesn't use UPnP to forward ports on the network, how are people connecting to my server without issue? I know not all games require port forwarding, but I'm not entirely sure why.

If people outside your network can connect to your server, the port is forwarded. If you're using Hamachi or similar, that doesn't apply and they're just connecting through Hamachi.

I'm thinking about buying a soundcard (Asus Xonar DGX), and my mobo has a free PCIe slot for it. However, it is right underneath my grapcis card, so if I'd add one they would be almost touching eachother. Would this fuck up my GPU cooling?

>>56960840
Not using any VPN software like Hamachi. I barely have anything running on this machine except for the server itself. I haven't set up any port forwarding on the router.

If the port were forwarded, wouldn't the GRC ShieldsUP! port scan pictured show "Open" rather than "Stealth" when I scan the port?

If Minecraft doesn't use UPnP for forward ports, how can the port be being forwarded?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just a bit confused.

Please help. My main phone is a Motorola Moto X Pure edition. (Style edition for your Euros). It randomly started locking up at the lock screen. The screen would still come on, but swiping wouldn't unlock it. The PIN pad would never come on. The phone would then restart itself. the phone also randomly started restarting itself. this would usually happen when trying to open the gallery but only seeing grey boxes instead of the pictures.

Now the phone has a "no service error" even when the SIM hasn't been changed in anyway or even removed. Tried removing the SIM and putting it back in and same problem.

Phone is running stock ROM, stock everything Android 6.0.1 and full phone encryption.

Going to reset the phone to factory defaults (which is the only way to remove the encryption) to see if this fixes the problem. If not I'm fucking stumped. Maybe google heard me through my mic that I was considering a new phone anyway and they fucked mine up to force my hand?

It'd be retarded to hire a female programmer.

They're as poor at it as they are at trying to perform the same as men in physical-centric jobs.

I'm not even being a typical MUH-SOGGY-KNEE guy, there's just so many things women can never be as good at men at because of their biological structure.

>>56961731
Depends on if the company has a diversity quota

>>56961731
Probably easier because companies like to hire women to brag about their employee gender stats.

>>56961761
While they're a lot rarer, good female programmers do exist. A big part of why they're rarer is just that girls usually don't show as much interest in tinkering with machines as boys do. That's possibly partly innate, but partly due to how we raise and encourage them.

So, you end up with a higher percent of men who apply for a technical job being in the field because they have a passion for it and are good at it. Whereas a higher percent of the women who apply are either there because they heard it's good money, or because they want to stick it to the man and get into a mostly male field.

I have gotten 2 bikes stolen the last month. I want some kind of tracking chip I can put on it and see where it is on my mobile. Does such thing exist?

>>56963196
Get a better bike lock and don't be that idiot who puts it around the wheel instead of the frame.

>>56963196
Those Tile bluetooth trackers have a thing where you can mark a item as missing and other Tile users' devices will report when they're in range of it. I've never used one and I don't know how well they work or how many users are in your area, but maybe it's worth checking out.

is there a way to center 4chan on the screen or at least offset it to the right a bit? using 4chanx right now

I got a huge monitor which I sit close to for the wide FOV but I hate looking way to the left all the time

>>56963318
These would be perfect if I could see its current location on a map instead of it only showing up when I am near it. And in a city like mine this probably won't be the best option.

Anon, you're living in a good neighborhood.
My brother take off the seat, and his bike got stolen.
That little lock won't stop anyone.
Good news where I live you can "buy" the bike back.

Please help, I don't understand why my code doesn't solve this problem.
Here's the description of the problem:
https://uva.onlinejudge.org/index.php?option=com_onlinejudge&Itemid=8&category=3&page=show_problem&problem=36

#include <stdio.h>
#define long long LL
int main()
{
    int i, j;
    unsigned int d;
    while(scanf ("%d %d", &i, &j) != EOF ){
        int n, n2, cicle, cicle_m=0;
        n=i;
        n2=j;
        while(i>j){
            d=i;
            cicle = 1;
            while ( d != 1 ){
                if ( d % 2 == 1 ) d = 3 * d + 1;
                else d >>= 1;
                cicle++;
            }
            if( cicle > cicle_m ) cicle_m = cicle;
            i--;
        }
        while(i<j){
            d=i;
            cicle = 1;
            while ( d != 1 ) {
                if ( d % 2 == 1 ) d = 3 * d + 1;
                else d >>= 1;
                cicle++;
            }
            if ( cicle > cicle_m ) cicle_m = cicle;
            i++;
        }
        if(n<n2) printf("\n%d %d %d\n",n,n2,cicle_m);
        if(n2<n) printf("\n%d %d %d\n",n2,n,cicle_m);
        return 0;
    }
}

In awesome, when I run Kate, the windows always start as floating for some reason and I have to press super ctrl space to get them to tile with my other windows. Other programs don't have this issue. I even added

{ rule = { class = "kate" },
  properties = { floating = false } },

to my rc.lua but to no avail.

What do?

Apparently my router doesn't allow me to change the DNS servers.
What do I do now?

What methods are the best to improve google search results on a website? So much information on the topic seems outdated as jewgle takes measures to ensure that older methods either don't work or punish the website in question.

>>56963924
Get a new router.

>>56963956
Not possible at the moment, so besides that?
Is there a way I can "bypass" the router settings?

>>56963924

>Modify your host file.
I've already changed them in pic related.
Would the host file be different, or it would achieve the same result?

>>56963982
This is a dumber answer because you can manually set your DNS in your network settings, doing it by your hosts file is pants on head retarded

>>56964000
It's the same.
>>56964009
Explain why.

>>56964045
Its not the same at all
Your hosts file would have to contain every domain you wanted to resolve

>scanf ("%d %d", &i, &j) != EOF
scanf returns the number of elements matched, so it will return less than 2 on failure, not EOF.
Also, I know your code is supposed to be working out the cycle length of the Collatz Conjecture, but your code doesn't make sense.

while(i>j){
    d=i;
    cicle = 1;
    ...
    i--;
}

Why are you decrementing i and then increasing it in an identical loop?
>return 0;
This is INSIDE the while loop, which means that your program is going to end after the first loop.

>>56964075
>Why are you decrementing i and then increasing it in an identical loop?
because "i" can be greater than "j" or "j" can be greater than "i". I'm using both conditions.
>This is INSIDE the while loop, which means that your program is going to end after the first loop.
hmm.. even though the input and the output seems to work

>>56964075
>scanf returns the number of elements matched, so it will return less than 2 on failure, not EOF.
I didn't understand that part.

>>56964075
>>56964166
>>This is INSIDE the while loop, which means that your program is going to end after the first loop.
>hmm.. even though the input and the output seems to work
o
Ok, I moved the return0; out of the big while loop and the only change is on the output, where it keeps asking me for numbers.
After all, the main objective of the code is still done.

>>56964166
>because "i" can be greater than "j" or "j" can be greater than "i". I'm using both conditions.
The sample input seems to imply that the first number will be smaller.
But if you're really worried about that, you should just do

int min = i < j ? i : j;
int max = i < j ? j : i;

But really, the whole way you're using your while loop is unnecessary.
You could write it much more cleanly like

for (int k = min; k <= max; ++k) {
    ...
}

>>56964181
>I didn't understand that part.
You apparently want to keep running the scanf loop until there is nothing left to read.
On a successful read, scanf will return 2. On an unsuccessful read (i.e. there is nothing left to read), scanf will return less than 2.
So pretty much

while (scanf("%d %d", &i, &j) == 2)

>>56957798
Ask them.
What? They profit using your data and not even give you an explanation? What an evil company!

>>56964230
I did it like this and UVa says it's wrong:

#include <stdio.h>
#define long long LL
int main()
{
    int i, j, k;
    unsigned int d;
    while (scanf("%d %d", &i, &j) == 2){
        int n, n2, cicle, cicle_m=0;
        n=i;
        n2=j;
        int min = i < j ? i : j;
        int max = i < j ? j : i;
        for(k=min;k<=max;++k){
            d=i;
            cicle = 1;
            while ( d != 1 ){
                if ( d % 2 == 1 ) d = 3 * d + 1;
                else d >>= 1;
                cicle++;
            }
            if( cicle > cicle_m ) cicle_m = cicle;
            i++;
        }
        printf("%d %d %d\n",min,max,cicle_m);
    }
    return 0;
}

>Although your program was successful at compilation and execution stages, it was not able of solving the proposed problem.
>Best regards,

should I ignore this and move on with more problems?

>>56964432
>d=i;
d = k;
>cicle = 1;
This should be set to 1 outside the loop.
>i++;
Unneeded. So is n and n2.

>>56958106
You will be considered a loser. This is for sure.

>>56958349
Nobody will give you their identities.

>>56963196
I could just remove the chip, couldn't I? Then I can steal your bike.

>>56964470
Again wrong
what could be wrong?

#include <stdio.h>
#define long long LL
int main()
{
    int i, j, k;
    unsigned int d;
    while (scanf("%d %d", &i, &j) == 2){
        int cicle, cicle_m=0;
        int min = i < j ? i : j;
        int max = i < j ? j : i;
        for(k=min;k<=max;++k){
            d=k;
            cicle = 1;
            while ( d != 1 ){
                if ( d % 2 == 1 ) d = 3 * d + 1;
                else d >>= 1;
                cicle++;
            }
            if( cicle > cicle_m ) cicle_m = cicle;
        }
        printf("%d %d %d\n",min,max,cicle_m);
    }
    return 0;
}

Thanks for all the help by the way.

>>56964470
>>56964705
btw i tried to put the cicle =1 outside the loop but it wasn't right either because it had a different cicle_m at the end.

Hello /g/
I am thinking of buying a switch to facilitate my home network for vidya. Would this item be a good switch? What does it mean when it says 10/100/1000 Mbps ports? (i know what megabits are, asking about the speed). Is the speed variable or something? Are some of the ports "slow" (10Mbps) while others are "fast" (1000Mbps)?
Also are there any concern with buying very long (100ft) ethernet cords? The way our house is set up my room on the second floor is directly above the downstairs computer room where the modem lies. I have to either snake the cords through the vent somehow or go all the way around the house up the stairs to get the cord to my computer / local switch.

Here is the switch in question:

NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbps Switch (GS205)

Don't ask me how or why but the storage drive in my HTPC is all inside of a "System Reserved" partition which means Windows really doesn't like to access it without me manually enabling it every time I boot and I can't even remove it with the Windows setup. I'm sure I could use a gpart bootdisk to remove it and format but I was wondering if there was any way to convert it to a normal volume without losing the data? There doesn't seem to be a command for converting system reserved volumes in diskpart.
