Fix - Can't Install Windows 8.1/10 - Error Says - GPT Partition Style

Question : While Installing the Windows 8.1 /10 on a Computer. Certain errors are coming. One of which says " Windows Cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT Partition Style. How to resolve this problem while installing the OS to a PC.



Answer : This error comes while you had tried to install the windows on partition which is of GPT style. This is a new partition style. Earlier we used to have MBR partition style. This time windows are using GPT style.

You need to change the GPT style to MBR style. To do so, you have to follow certain steps.

First of all, just exit from this screen and get back to the main page of installation.

Now press : Shift + F12 to open the Command Prompt.

Now, type 'Diskpart' then, type 'list disk'. Now you will be shown all the drives attached to the pc along with its GPT status. If it is GPT there will be * mark in front of it.

I would recommend you to backup all the files and data before doing GPT style conversion to MBR.

once you done, now type "select disk [disk no.]  for example : select disk 0

now, the disk having GPT partition style is selected.

then, you have to type "Clean" and hit Enter.

Within few seconds, Disk will be cleaned and changed to MBR partition style.

Now, you can start the installation process, you will not be restricted to install the window.

Enjoy...

My First Car - Should I Buy Renault Kwid or Maruti Suzuki Celerio / Wagon R

Question : My height is 6 feet and i am looking out to buy a new car. Most of the times i would be driving in city traffic only. Very rarely i would go on highways.


I have heard lots about the Celerio AGS (AMT) so would it be comfortable for me in a Celerio or the Kwid would be better choice?

I had Wagon R in my mind before the launch of Celerio however now i am in dilemma whether to go for AGS comfort or the tall boy Wagon R.



Answer : Celerio would be a better choice in city condition. there is not much difference in the engine both 1000cc just celerio has littile better tuned engine than WagonR for more mileage.

interms of Interiors both are good but celerio gets little decent look for its dashboard and maybe litttle bit more features in the top model.

the main part is comfort of driving and travelling,I have driven Celerio AMT and I feel very relaxed,no hassle of gear change,So if you want hassle free city drive go for Celerio AMT.but as you are 6ft I would say you will find Celerio little bit small than WagonR.WagonR has its own plus points like tallboy design with better seat comfort than celerio but you wont get AMT.So test drive both for your height.

Alto 800 CNG mileage : 25 in City while 27-29  on highways.

both the cars are much more alike to each other. Only one factor which makes alto k10 a good choice, is the engine. Alto k10 is having k Next engine of 996 CC same as in WagonR. So that you will have much more power and good pickup than Alto 800.

Compare KUV100 Vs Wagon R - Honest Comparison

Question : How to compare Mahindra KUV100 with Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 1.0 ? Need Honest Comparison between KUV100 vs Wagon R 1.0. 


Answer : Comparing both the cars in various aspects will provide you the basic difference. Taking the Engine into consideration, KUV100 comes with 1199 CC of Engine while Wagon R  comes with 996 CC Engine. So, in this aspect, KUV100 leads the way. 

In the case of Interiors, KUV100 again let you love the interior which is of a superb quality while Wagon R is not having that kind of superiority in Interior. WagonR is having basic, simple interior. So, KUV100 will again find its place on the top.

WagonR is a 5 seater car while KUV100 is available in both 5 seater and 6 seater option. So, KUV100 is again a winner. 

Exterior of KUV100 is considered as a SUV'ish while WagonR, even after very modifications, still some boxy style is there. KUV100 will let you feel like you are driving a semi SUV on the road. The exterior of KUV100 comes with stylish grill and stylish bumper as well while WagonR comes with normal style exterior. 

Fuel Option : KUV100 comes with petrol and diesel variants only while WagonR comes with an additional CNG fuel variant as well. So, taking the fuel economy into consideration, WagonR will take the lead. With CNG, WagonR is giving a mileage of more than 28 kmpl.

So, if style and comfort finds you more concerned, then, KUV100 will be a better choice. Rather, if you would like to have a car which is not so stylish but with a very efficient fuel economy along with good space in the cabin, then WagonR will be good choice.

Answer : Endogenic and Exogenic Forces are two types of forces developed under the discipline of Geography. These are the main forces which will brief us the architecture of earth and why its architecture is changing.

Endogenic Force : Endogenic Force are the forces which comes from within the earth and cause horizontal and vertical movements of the earth. It is these movements by which  land upliftment and subsidence, folding and faulting, earthquakes and volcanism, etc. occurs. It is the result of Endogenetic movements due to which major bodies such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, etc. have taken the form.  

Exogenic forces : Exogenic Forces which are also known as exogenetic movments. These forces refers to external processes and phenomena that occur on or above the Earth 's surface.

Can we give Civil Service Exam (IAS Exam) Interview in Hindi ?

Question : Can we give Civil Service Exam (IAS Exam) Interview in Hindi ?


Answer : Yes, candidates can give the interview in whatever language they feel comfortable. The most important thing is the expression. You can't secure marks if you can't express the concept or your thoughts to the UPSC Interviewers.

UPSC does not want BPO person who speaks english very fluently. Person working in BPO only have the speaking quality but UPSC takes a candidate who can administrate the society.

In simple terms, when you go to rural villages, what you will do ? Will you speak in English with them ? Will you express your opinion in English ? they will hardly get any idea. Rather, when you speak hindi, they will judge you and listen you carefully.

On the whole : HINDI is our Rajbhasha. It's not like if you give interview in Hindi, you will not get marks OR you will be ranked lower. there is nothing like this at all.

India using WPI instead of CPI to calculate inflation - Daily Economic Market - Reasons for Inflation in Indian Market - How to Calculate Inflation using WPI

Question : Can you please tell me why India is using WPI instead of CPI Method for calculation of Inflation.


Answer : India use WPI (Whole Sale Price Index) Method for the calculation of inflation in Indian Economy. We used to neglect CPI Method. However, the reasons are mentioned below:

1) It's totally depends on the data available for WPI and CPI Method. Data on Wholesale Price Index (WPI) is available every week, while data on Consumer Price Index (CPI) is only available every month, so there is a time lag in CPI data availability compared to WPI data availability, which can impact decision making both for RBI and the Government of India, as the previous answer states.

2) In India, we do not have one CPI calculated per se. Earlier, there were 4 CPIs calculated for 4 different sets of workers, and now we have three such CPIs, out of which the most famous is CPI for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW). The others used currently are CPI for agricultural laborers and CPI for rural laborers.

The argument used therefore is that there is no one CPI value which can be used for decision making by either RBI or the Government of India.

3) According to our policy makers/decision makers at RBI and elsewhere, or so it seems, WPI has a broader coverage compared to all the CPIs, in terms of the commodities covered, quotations, larger number of non-agricultural products and tradeable items, which are missing in the CPIs.

Also, interest rates which the RBI controls may not have much of a correlation with high food prices and therefore decision makers may feel that since they can't target inflation across major sections constituting the CPI, they would rather focus on WPI constituted of goods on whose demand interest rates may have a more significant impact.

4) WPI is calculated on an all India basis, while CPI is calculated for specific centres in India and then this is aggregated to an all India index. 

So, these are some reasonable facts which affects the inflation in real time. India used WPI instead of CPI to calculate inflation.
