      Hi

      To save myself some time i thought i would download a pre-made image from here. I have downloaded several and always get the same error upon booting the Pi up. I am using a Pi 3 Model B, 32Gb Team MicroSD, Win32DiskImager, Windows 10 PC.

      "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179 2)"

      Tried 4 different 32Gb images all give me the same error. I cannot log into it using SHIFT and changing the 2 to a 6 results in the same error with a 6 on the end.

      [32gb] 32GB RetroPie 4.2 Image Pi Zero W or Pi 3 – MadLittlePixel was the first i tried.

      I just want to write an image, pop it in the Pi and play but having no luck. Can anyone recommend a good 32Gb image, fully loaded and ready to play???

          third party images are not supported. Start with a clean image if you want any help https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

              @furyuk It was not downloaded from here. Only the official clean image containing no ROMs or copyrighted material is available from this site.
