        @chris419 If you're just starting, re-write the RetroPie image to the sd-card again and start over.

            @chris419 I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood - what's the actual problem ? The USB drive or RetroPie not loading when you start your PI ?

                  It might help to nail down the specific information requested at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Along with the rest of the information, take care to note what method it was you used to transfer the files. For instance, did you use the automatic or manual process documented here?

                  RetroPie v4.5 • RPi3 Model B • 5.1V 2.5A PSU • 16GB SanDisk microSD • 512GB External Drive

                        @chris419 You don't need to move anything. If you used the automatic method, the proper folders will be created automatically and you'll be able to see them on the PC.
                        From what's you're saying, did you try the manual method ?

                              @chris419 In Linux, the commands, as well as filenames, are case-sensitive. So copy and paste the command from the docs AS IS:

                              # correct command
                              sudo mv -v /home/pi/RetroPie/* /media/usb0/
                              
                              # wrong command 
                              # sudo mv -v/home/pi/retropie/* /media/usb0/
                              

                              If this gives an error, then please paste the error here so we can take a look.

                                            My brother lives a block over and has been promising to bring my sling blade back for over a month. It's such a nice day out, I think I'll walk over there and borrow it back.
