      Retropie 4.7.1
      Pi4 2gb
      1tb SSD WD blue
      Argon one v1 with m.2 expansion
      SD card slot empty
      boot error picture

      first boot message
      Can someone please advice me on these messages and if I can disable them.

      The pi boots fine still into retropie and works like it should.

      I upgraded the os full sys upgrade kernel etc and still the message happens on boot.

      I did not have this on my 500gb WD blue SSD

      The only difference was I enabled gpt on the 1tb and not mbr

      I started of installing retropie with pi imager onto the 1tb and the copied over my content. But that boot message happened from new install of retropie.

      I tried the 500gb and flashed retropie again and it does not do the message.

      Changed the 1tb to mbr still get the boot loading messages as above

      Flash to 500gb and no message.

      Any help is appreciated.
      Extra info bootloader and boot order identical on both drives so this can't be anything effecting it.
      Many thanks

        Not sure I see any error here - the picture 'boot error picture' doesn't show any error message on screen. Which message are you referring to ? The one from the 2nd picture (MSD Error) ?

        Your question would be better answered in the Raspberry PI forums - since it's related the RPI bootloader.

        BTW, you don't need a GPT setup for a 1TB drive, GPT is needed when you want to have a partition/disc larger than 2TB.

          Hi I will ask in the Raspberry Pi Forums.

          I did try MBR and GPT and still the same.

          It all works, I was just wondering how to remove those messages from the 1tb retropie.

          Thanks for getting back to me.

          I thought it would be good to share the response I got from Raspberry Pi Forums

          Edit the boot config:

          sudo -E rpi-eeprom-config --edit

          Add this command:

          DISABLE_HDMI=1

          Save and exit: (ctrl x then y)

          https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#raspberry-pi-4-bootloader-configuration

          So it must be all fine and by setting above command it does not display the boot message now.
