        @backstander I'm using a 16gb flash drive. And I don't get any error messages, it just says that I only have 57mb free when there's nothing on it

            You know, I had one of my SanDisk flash drives at work do something like that. I tried every trick in the book to reformat it and nothing seemed to work. I contacted SanDisk and I had to RMA (return merchandise authorization) it back to SanDisk and they send me a replacement. Took about 3 or 4 weeks before I received the replacement.

              Is that space related to the flash drive or the SD card? For the SD card, you may need to expand the file system after installing RetroPie.

                    @r641wd huh. Any particular error message? Lack of space? Something?

                        @r641wd I don't have enough information from your description to suggest next steps.

                        Searching for the error you described on Google seems to take me to this page. See if those steps help?
