Usb failing, what can I do?

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
How are you powering the disc - is it externally or through the PI itself ?
-
@mitu it is powering off the retropie sd card that came with the unit. The roms are on a external USB, the only ones that are showing are the roms that came on the pi sd card
-
Then my guess is that the Pi is not providing enough power to the USB drive - try to power the drive externally.
-
@mitu should I buy a new one?
-
A SD-Card with roms came with the pi you bought?

Not necessarily - you could get a powered USB hub to power up the disk and connect it to the Pi though the hub. Doesn't the disk have any other powering options ? What model it is (Samsung 3.0 is not a model) ?
-
The only devices of Samsung with USB3.0 and 265GB are USB-Sticks (called "FlashDrives" by Samsung) as far as i can see.
But one question in general @mitu.
KKaplan81 bought a pi with a preloaded image full of roms and is trying to add more roms by putting in a USB-Device.The rules say "no support for 3rd-party-images".
In this case KKaplan gets support.
So are there further rules that allow support even when using a scammer-image?
Something like "he does not ask for help with the image itself, but with adding hardware" or something like that? -

I don't see this specifically mentioned, it only said
it is powering off the retropie sd card that came with the unit.
Maybe I'm missing/overlooking something ?

@sirhenrythe5th I see.
@KKaplan81 is @sirhenrythe5th right ? Did you buy your Pi with a ROM filled sdcard ?
