Official SD card not good ?
-
Hello,
I bought a set and got an official Raspberry SD card (16Go) I tried every way I could find in the forum, but all got same result:Error resizing existing FAT partition
Fatal; Bad FAT: interminated chain for \SYSTEME~1. You should run dosfsck or scandiskRaspian is working, and install retropie from rasbian give me a message like I cannot do it because of version.
I used win32disk manager, Partition wizard, SD formatter... Every way gave me the same result.
I am using windows 10.Is there a trick to make it work ?
Thanks a lot

@pandasan If your intention is to only run RetroPie, then get the image for your system from the download page. Unpack the file with 7-zip then write the .img file with Win32DiskImager directly on the card, as indicated in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.
-
@mitu That is what I did obviously in the first place, which gave me the same error.
img file could be wrong ? I did download from torrent link, but I never get any error when I used win32DiskImager -
@pandasan At which step do you get the said error ? Are you using a NOOBS configured SD card and you're trying to resize a FAT32 partition ? Which image did you download from the RetroPie site ?
-
@mitu Downloaded from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4400/torrent-download-retropie
Maybe the img file is corrupted ?
I get the error when I start the Raspberry for the first time. No NOOBs inside, just the retropie install on the SD with Win32DiskImager. The error comes when the raspberry boot. -
@pandasan Try to download the images directly from https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releases/, not the berryboot flavor, but the regular ones:
- retropie-4.3-rpi1_zero.img.gz if you have Raspberry Pi 1 or Zero (W)
- retropie-4.3-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz if you have a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3
Reformat you card first, to erase any previous partition list, and try the image for your RPI from the list above.

@mitu I am trying to download it now, I got many time network error so that is why I used torrent link. But to be sure, a single partition FAT32 is enough right ?
Thank you for your support -

Yes, it's enough.
