Windows partition utility does not agree with fdisk

The background for this is here. Tl;dr: I created 3 primary partitions (SYSTEM, C:, shared data) and two logical (/boot and /) for a dual boot system, and ran into issues with chainloading from win7 with EasyBCD. To troubleshoot, I simplified the setup to 3 primary partitions, and am now trying to go back... but can't!
Method:
- Delete all volumes/partitions after C:
- Create primary partition of ~100G, NTFS formatted (shared data)
- Create logical partition of 256M, unformatted (/boot)
- Create logical partition with remaining space, unformatted (encrypted /)
I used the built-in win7 partition utility for this, and it looks like it worked: screenshot
My first alert was the fact that Minitool Partition Wizard didn't agree with win7: screenshot
In fact, trying to create logical partitions with Minitool reports that the operation was successful, but as soon as it completes they turn back into unallocated space. I actually tried this first and then went with the win7 utility as I thought something was wrong with Minitool. I'm starting to think it's the other way around and that Minitool sees the correct state and win7 is wrong. That diagnosis comes from the output of fdisk via booting an Arch installation image:
Invalid flag 0x7d9b of EBR (for partition 5) will be corrected by w(rite).
Disk /dev/sda: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x1e6513b3

/dev/sda5 2961659748 5859253686 2897593939 1.4T 65 Novell Netware 386
No idea whatsoever on the type ID assigned to /dev/sda5, nor why it shows as 1.4T. I've tried various things with no success:
- check/fix errors via win7 drive properties (no errors found)
- delete all non-win7 partitions, grow the partition to the full disk, and then shrink back again
- shrink win7 to ~80G, create a single primary partition, boot Arch install media, format with ext4, `dd if=/dev/zero of=file.txt` until full, then delete file
- change order (2 logicals, then primary)
- format the logicals with NTFS upon creation instead of leaving them unformatted
- assigning drive letters upon creating the partitions vs. no drive letter
I'm hesitant to just do everything from fdisk, as I have McAfee Endpoint Encryption and I'm not sure if writing the partition table from outside of windows can possibly ruin anything related to how the startup decryption works. If someone can assure that dd'ing some number of bytes on /dev/sda would allow me to reverse the process (restore said bytes to the beginning of the drive) in the event of any failures, I'd be willing to give that a shot. I know I've dd'd the encrypted MBR in the past and successfully restored it (after trying to install grub instead of the windows bootloader) just fine and been able to boot again. Not sure if messing with the partition table is any different.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Pradhiba and A.H.P,
I got this problem yesterday and I tried all steps mentionned in this message of yours. Just for your information I checked the following points also (maybe it helps you to analyse better the problem):
System Analysis:
1. SE16 T000
2. SE16 RSBASIDOC in both systems
3. SU01 PROFILES
    BWREMOTE       > To be checked
    ALEREMOTE   and profile S_BI-WX_RFC   see note 150315 > To be checked
4. WE20 Partner Profile LS  settings in both are OK
    BW outbound RSRQST
            inbound  RSINFO RSSEND
    R/3 outbound RSINFO RSSEND
                             inbound  RSRQST
    also check 'RSSEND' in R/3
BIDOCTYP = ZSUB161 > To be checked
5. SM59 .. appears to be ok
6. check inconsistency in tables RSISOSMAP and RSOSFIELDMAP
   SE16 BW for table  RSISOSMAP
7. SE16 BW for table RSOSFIELDMAP
     no 'T' entries
8. in BW > source system
The remote users for calling and sending data must have the type
   Dialog or CPIC (see Note 161570).
9. Run the report RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL (activate all BW structures)
10. check entries on the table bdls
Maybe I will re-check all this again today.
In the mean time I will appreciate any other suggestions that you may have about this issue.
Thanks,
PL.

  • Error: Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task

    Hi,
    I'm getting the error "Result of Agent Resolution does not agree with agent of Task".  I'm passing the agents in Expression which I'm getting from Method in my previous step and passing to workflow container and it is getting passed to Expression. The userid is present in that container. And the Task is assigned as General Task but still I dont know what might be the problem. The ID is with 'US' prefix. Even if I give the userid directly in the Task, it shows the same error.
    Regards,
    JMB

    Hi
    Incase you are using different clients for development and testing, make sure in testing client, task is assigned as general task.
    You may check the way the userid is passed. Please note that the US is object type and Object ID(user id) is different. Both of them should not be part of one string. So while you test, just pass the user id without a prefix US. Hope it will work for u.

  • Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task

    Hello Experts,
       I am trying to configure a workflow for Employee Travel expense, the Business object am using is BUS2089 for event CREATED.
      And am configuring workflow task WS20000040 (Approve trip). and in the work flow builder I am assigning User as an Agent and fixing it to a user say "USER1" for Task 404 (Check trip facts) and for Task 416 (Approve trip facts) again am assigning User as an Agent and fixing it to user say "USER2"
    Now when the Trip is saved using PR05, this work flow is triggerred - which is what i want and it sends work item to USER1,  now when USER1 says Trip facts are consistent the work item should go to USER2 but here it is failing and the log says "Agent determination for step 0000000416 failed" and details say "Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task" which is  SWF_RUN 544
    Can you guys help me by telling where am going wrong.  Am i missing some configuration somewhere.
    I have changed the Task properties - Attributes i have changed the task as a General Task,(i did it by navigating through Control Tab of the task)
    appreciate your response.. Thanks
    Usman

    Thanks Novjot
        I made the task as a general task and i see a gree light adjacent to it, but still it doesn't work.
    the way i made it as a general task is as follows:
    1. in the navigation area - select task 416
    2. In the right hand side, on Control Tab in Task properties, click on the Red button and maintain Agent assignment
    3. In Agent Assignment change attributes to General Task - instead of General Forwarding allowed.
    save and activate, and generate runtime version
    Is this correct or any other way?
    Thanks

  • Agent resolution does not agree with agents of task

    Hi Guys,
    I extended B.O-IDOCAPPL to ZIDOCAPPL to catch the inbound error for the IDOC.
    The workflow gets triggered correctly when we get the inbound error.
    In the workflow i created a custom display method....this is a dialog method. Now when the workflow comes to this point it gives the message in the technical log
    <i>" Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task"    </i>  
    <b>Now instead of calling this method if i just put a user decision it shows up fine in the users inbox.</b>
    I have tried SWU_OBUF , Refresh from SWUS , Refresh from Inbox
    Nothing seems to work, anyidea as to what's happening here ?

    I have tried :
    1.) hardcoding user ID
    2.) using a role
    3.) using WF initiator...
    This is set up as a general task......
    One interesting observation that i had... (If the below is irrelevant please ignore)
    If i run the task via SWUS it executes but still does not evaluate the agents.. and then if i execute the workitem in SWIA it lets me execute...
    Now if i trigger the workflow it executes but still does not evaluate the agents but it does not allow me to execute the workitem in SWIA , the technical log says workitem not found.

  • Error  " Selected numbers does not agree with transferred"

    Hi,
    While in production support I got a issue saying
    Error  " Selected numbers does not agree with transferred"
    How to solve this.
    Regards
    San Reddy

    Hi,
    This doesnt mean that its a failure.
    I will suggest you to check a few places where you can see the status
    1) SM37 job log (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load) (give request name) and it should give you the details about the request. If its active make sure that the job log is getting updated at frequent intervals.
    Also see if there is any 'sysfail' for any datapacket in SM37.
    2) SM66 get the job details (server name PID etc from SM37) and see in SM66 if the job is running or not. (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load). See if its accessing/updating some tables or is not doing anything at all.
    3) RSMO see what is available in details tab. It may be in update rules.
    4) ST22 check if any short dump has occured.(In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load)
    5) SM58 and BD87 for pending tRFCs.
    Once you identify you can rectify the error.
    If all the records are in PSA you can pull it from the PSA to target. Else you may have to pull it again from source infoprovider.
    If its running and if you are able to see it active in SM66 you can wait for some time to let it finish. You can also try SM50 / SM51 to see what is happening in the system level like reading/inserting tables etc.
    If you feel its active and running you can verify by checking if the number of records has increased in the data tables.
    SM21 - Job log can also be helpful.
    In your case its probably because of tRFC issue.
    Check SM58 / BD87 for pending tRFCs.
    Thanks,

  • Field catalog does not agree with the fields of the functional area

    G'day everyone,
    I am using a generic extractor via infoset to extract data from R/3 source system.
    Using RSA3, I have obtained an error message and no further details.
    ****ERROR MESSAGE
    "Field catalog does not agree with the fields of the functional area

    ****ERROR MESSAGE
    I have checked and adjusted my infoset in SQ02 and they seems fine but still obtain the same error.
    In BW, replicated the datasource and activate the transfer rules but still obtain the same error.
    Anyone knows how to get more details for this type of error? Or how to fix this problem?
    Regards

    I think I have just solved it.
    Transaction RS02 delete and recreate after checking the structure in BW and Source system are the same.

  • Windows "Easy Connect" does not reply with the password / "Easy Connect is not Available"

    Hello,
    I have posted a related question some time ago, which was eventually resolved. However, after some time a problem with Easy Connect (used for MSRA) came back:
    Whenever I arrive at the point in setting up a MSRA session where Easy Connect is needed, I get the reply: "Easy Connect is not Available". Here is an example of the problem:
    Start MSRA
    --> as expected, a window with "invite someone to help you" and " Help some who has invited you" appears
    Select "invite someone to help you"
    --> as expected, a window with "Who do you want to get help from" appears 
    Select "Invite someone to help you"
    --> as expected, a windows with "How do you want to invite your trusted helper?" appears
    Select "Use Easy Connect"
    --> as expected, the temporary "Create invitation window / checking network capabilities" window appears
    Next, I would expect this windows to close a new window to provide me with the Easy Connect password. However, instead I get the window "Easy Connect is not available".
    I cannot continue. (I have screenshots so can repost with them if that would clarity my question)
    Any suggestion how to resolve would be appreciated.
    (Please do not reply with the 3 suggestions from the FAQ (both computers must run windows 7 / Access to internet is limited / your router does not support Easy Connect - doesn't help)
    More background information and things I have tried:
    The "Easy Connect is not available" window offers the "Tell me more about how to fix this problem" which I have tried, but those suggestions do not help
    If I use the other MSRA option: "Help someone who has invited you" (this would be my typical use case), followed by "help someone new" and than select "Use Easy Connect", I also get the "Easy Connect is not available"
    window instead of the expected option to enter the Easy Connect password. I believe this is that same problem.
    This happed with both the 32 as well as the 64 MSRA versions
    I'm using Window 7 Ultimate, 64 bit with all the latest updates
    This desktop PC is wired to the internet via an Edimax gigabit switch, a Dlink DIR-855 wireless router and a fiber modem in bridge mode
    The W7 desktop has a single active network connection only
    I'm using Windows Firewall and Windows Security Essentials
    Disabling the firewall on the PC did not help
    Network discovery is enabled in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings (that’s UPnP – right?)
    The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool does not seem to be available anymore from MSFT sites
    Restarting "Peer Name Resolution Protocol" did not help
    Restarting "Peer Networking Identity Manager Properties" did not help
    Starting up with a "Clean Boot" (disabled all non-Microsoft services using MSConfig) did not help
    I would also be interested to understand how I can check on the status of the "Easy Connect" service. Is this a service hosted somewhere, or??
    Thanks!

    Dear Andy,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. Let me answer your questions:
    Q: Could you use the other methods: save this invitation as a file and use e-mail to send invitation?
    A: yes, that way I can establish a MSRA connection
    Q: Have you disable other network connections, including disable all virtual network card?
    A: if I check with ‘Device Manager/Network Adapters’ (or Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network Connections) I see two network adapters (my Asus motherboard has two network connectors). Both are available, but only one is used. I have
    disabled one. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. I will leave it disable for now.
    Q: To find detailed information about this issue, please locate to event view and find the logs about remote assistance.
    A: I have to admit that the Event Viewer is unfamiliar territory for me. So, I’m not sure where and what to look for. However, as suggested, I found "Event Viewer (local)/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Remote assistance/Operational".
    Each time, I attempt to use MSRA/Easy Connect, it seems two entries are added. As I cannot seem to upload files with this post, here are just the two entries:
    “Diagnosis Repro Attempt resulted in a failure.”
    “Remote Assistance troubleshooting has confirmed the problem: Remote Assistance Easy Connect isn't available.”
    If you need more details, please suggest what to forward or check. I'm eager to find a solution!

  • Purchased music on Macbook Pro does not agree with the purchased music on iPad.

    I have current versions of all software. And just bought a new iPad. When examining purchased music in iTunes on my MacBook Pro, it is pointing to current purchases over the past few years. But when examining purchases in iTunes on new iPad, it is pointing to very old purchases made several years ago. The purchases to do not agree - they are not in sync. I want them both to be in sync, or at least have both devices point to the current purchase list. Thanks in advance.

    I have my iPhone attached via USB cable to my MacBook Pro.
    I have been able to successfully sync my calendar now by activating iCloud on my iPhone and via System Preferences on my MacBook Pro after I learned that Maverick does not provide iSync.
    However, I have a new problem: The calendar does not "upgrade" (it gets stuck) and I receive a "403" error and it gets stuck in a loop that I have to force quit. I have looked that up in the forum, but wasn't able to solve this issue because the solutions are way to technical and out of my league.
    Very disappointed development as removing calendar from iCloud now also deletes all my entries on the Mac.

  • Windows 8.1 does not work with original iPad

    I have a new HP Split 13 x 2 machine.  I cannot get my original iPad to get recognized.  I'm pretty sure it worked just fine when I had only Windows 8, but I upgraded a few days after I got the machine and now when I plug it in I continually hear the sound it makes when a device is plugged in, but it sounds like its getting connected and then disconnected and it keeps doing that over and over.  I've reinstalled iTunes with no luck.  iTunes says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone.  An unknown error occurred (0xE8000084).  I have the latest drivers for both Windows, HP, and Intel.  Anythoughts?  It works just fine on my old HP laptop with Vista.

  • Event date does not agree with photo dates in the event

    Mavericks 
    Iphoto 9.5.1
    I have made a new event and put lots of genealogy pictures for one family member in it.  I changed all the photos to Jan 4, 2002.  These are docs, pics, obits, etc. Thus I have given this one person this date.  Other family names  have another date.  I modified all the original files within each event.
    Beside this couples name on the "Event" label it says Jan 3, 2002 - August 23, 2014.  Therefore it shows itself in the Jan 3, 2002 group of people.  That is about 20 family groups up the page.   
    I have done the following:
         --Made sure that there are no pictures with the date Jan 3, 2002 in the event
         --Have taken all the pictures in the event and separated them out into new events--census, certificates, pictures, obits, etc.  Thought I would trick the event to restarting! 
         --Did a "select-all"  of that event and created a new event--same thing.
         --Closed down iPhoto and started over again.
    I have no idea why the Jan 3, 2002 is showing up.  These are one side of the family.  The January 4 is the other side!
    On August 23, 2014, I did take a couple of the cemetery pictures in this event.  However, they were given the new date of January 4 and Modified the original files using the checkbox.  I put the same picture in another family member's event and it is OK.  I
    Hope I have given enough details.

    I think I have solved it!  After much frustration and then writing for help, I was not to be stopped.  I kept looking up other helps and one person suggested that one of the pictures might be a problem.  So I tried that approach.  I made an event just out of the "possible" problem pix (the August  2014 date.)  It was not causing a problem in another event, however.   From that  event with the same pix, I exported the pix to the desktop, and then imported the pix back into iPhoto.  Then I put them into the event that was having the problem.  So far so good.  The date of the event matches all the dates of the photos.  I will now delete the "problem children."
    Maybe this will help someone else.

    I am trying to update my iPod (20GB version 3.1) i have about 14.5 GB of music. When I started trying to update the music last night i had just erased all the music off of the iPod so it was completely empty. I plugged it in and went to sleep when i work up it had transfered a little bit of music over night but my computer had reset itself overnight. I reopened iTunes and only about 35 songs had been transfered. When i plugged it in iTunes said that it has 7.32GB of music already on it. but then directly below that it says that i have 143MB of music on my iPod and my iPod says that as well. SO now when i try to put my music on there it says that there is not enough room and that it wants to put a slected playlist of music on. The iPod says it has 18.5GB free. I do not understand why they are not corralating. I am running on version 5 of iTunes. someone please help me!!!! I am leaving for a trip in about 24 hours and i would really really like to have a working iPod with me.
