      @tzdig said in Help me out:

      @sleve_mcdichael i put it back on to the retro pie and nothing changed

      You put the Raspberry Pi OS (desktop) image on the card and it worked, but you put the RetroPie image back on and it still didn't?

      Maybe your download got corrupted. Can you md5sum your image file? On Windows:

      Right-click, "open command prompt here" in the folder where you saved the image. Type:

      certutil -hashfile retropie-buster-4.7.1-rpi4_400.img.gz MD5
      

      What's the output?

            @tzdig what @sleve_mcdichael i asking is to use windows to check the checksum of the .Img file to see if it’s not corrupt. That is another possibility. Or try redownloading the image and write that to the card.

                @tzdig is where is the image saved on your PC?

                You wrote "C:\Users\tzdig\OneDrive\Desktop\New folder" certutil instead of certutil and you wrote -hasfile instead of -hashfile.

                      @tzdig well it's not "nothing." It did say something, it said that what you typed was not a valid command. Is the image saved in C:\Users\tzdig\OneDrive\Desktop\New folder? Try:

                      certutil -hashfile "C:\Users\tzdig\OneDrive\Desktop\New folder\retropie-buster-4.7.1-rpi4_400.img.gz" MD5
                      

                      Just type exactly that (or copy/paste) on the line and nothing else.

                            @tzdig don't write/drag/put anything before certutil.
