              @retropieiscool Which means that the SD card has been corrupted when you turned it off abruptly. Reimage and start over unless you have a backup.

                    Wherever you put it. It's from the shares of configs, roms and bios.

                            @retropieiscool so in Windows, if you look at your local network, there should be a share called "retropie". In there is all the roms, configs and bios files. Since you have a pretty fresh install of retropie, you may not have to backup your configs unless you changed some control mappings and stuff. The roms is self explanatory and bios has the bios files you installed.
                            If you're on a mac the share should show up on the left hand side of any open window under "shares"

                                @retropieiscool you asked about backups. I'm just trying to help you back up. And where to restore a backup. If you have all your files backed up, just reformat the sd card, reimage retropie and restore your backup.
