      Hi, I have an issue with setting up my piroms. I’m hoping maybe you guys can help me. I recently installed piroms and it worked great but I eventually reset and reinstalled my retropie with a 4tb external. I’m unable to expand my external. My retropie toolkit states that I need to remove drive expansion script before adding a new drive. Can you please explain to me how I can do this, I’m new to this. Thank You.

        @riot1913 I think the drive expansion script only works on 1st boot, so as long as you connect the drive after the 1st RetroPie image boot, you shouldn't have a problem.
        Alternatively, immediately after flashing the image, insert the card in the OS where you're done the flashing and modify the cmdline.txt file from the boot partition and remove the last parameter so that instead of

        dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=5728b712-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 quiet init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh
        

        you should have

        dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=5728b712-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 quiet
