    Hoping someone can help me. I cannot get the Raspberry PI Zero to display on my HDMI tv. When I plug it in, the TV automatically goes to the HDMI input used, however, nothing comes up. After about 3-4 seconds, the tv gives me the message that there is no source. I tried adjusting the config file but that still did not work. I downloaded a fresh image file and started over with the SD card, that didn't work.

    One thing I did notice when I looked online and youtube for how others installed theirs was a difference when their image file was complete. When mine is complete, the SD card has another unformatted drive created. Is this normal? Is the Rasberry Pi somehow confusing the two drives on the SD card? If this isn't normal, I cannot find an option in Win32 imager of how to stop this.

    Hoping someone has a solution for me. I am new to raspberry pi but I am very familiar with computers and following instructions. The only deviation from what I have seen online is the creation of another drive on the SD card after imaging.

      @el_emperor the unformatted partition is the linux partition. You need to leave it the way it is.

        Thanks for the reply.

        I did notice something else. Before I flash the image file to the SD card, the format of the SD card is in fact FAT32. After the image is written, it is FAT (not 32). Could this be an issue?
