      Hi all,

      I have a new 32GIG SD card formatted using SDFormatter. Once complete disk management shows 29.72 Fat32 available. I then use Win32DiskImager and install retropie-4.2-rpi2_rpi3.
      Once complete disk management shows:
      57MB FAT Healthy, Active
      1.95GB Primary Partition
      27.71GB unallocated

      Am I missing something here? I have searched for forum, youtube and cannot understand why 27.71GB is unallocated.

      Any help would be appreciated.

        @miked have you put it into the raspberry pi and booted up yet? SD card should show up as a 57 MB boot drive in windows. Once you put it into the pi the pi will do its thing and populate all the folders.

          @miked if putting it in the pi doesnt expand the file system, go into raspi-config and expand the file system.
