I need help. (Could not expand filesytem)

[Pesto]

I just got my pie in the mail today. I set everything up. I tried to run the pie but it says " Could not expand filesytem, please try raspi-config or rc_gui.
Boot and root partitions are on different devices" What should I do?

@pesto Hello. You need to provide the information requested here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first before anyone can begin to help you.
Did you try expanding via the raspi-configmenu?

[Pesto]

@jonnykesh How would I do that? I'm new to raspberry pie and retro pie.

@pesto https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/raspi-config.md

@jonnykesh It still won't let me access the config. The screen is just blue and says " Could not expand filesytem, please try raspi-config or rc_gui.
Boot and root partitions are on different devices"

[jonnykesh]

@pesto Okay. It was worth trying first. You need to provide the info about your setup. As I previously requested.

[Pesto]

@jonnykesh Your asking for what type of raspberry pie I'm using? I'm using Pi 3 model B

[jonnykesh]

@pesto I'm asking you to provide the information requested in the link I posted above.

[Pesto]

@jonnykesh The link tells me how to access the config. Which I can't.

[jonnykesh]

@pesto The one above that.
Sorry dude, if you can't post basic info and follow basic instructions I can't help you. Hopefully someone with more time and patience will offer to assist.

@pesto Do you intend to run RetroPie on the PI ? Then follow the steps in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ (there's a handy video included) and you should be good to go. You don't need to expand the filesystem in order to install RetroPie.
