SD Card Corrupted After adding video preview
-
@mitu I already tried using etcher and I got this message
I clicked continue and it seemed like it worked , it said it was successful but when I went back to the raspberry all my Roms were still there from my previous image and I continued having the same problem
-
-
@mitu thanks for all the help! I tried the link but the format failed again :/...i guess I will have to buy a new one
-
@mitu I ordered a new card and I still want to add the video preview to the games but now I’m afraid that i might damage the new card as well. Is there a safer way to get the video previews ? Or should I try the video I posted one more time
-
what are you using to format the card?
-
@grant2258 i used the SD Formatter tool and I also tried using CMD commands
-
you might want to clear the memory cards partitions
-
@grant2258 I tried cleaning the disk using the command prompt and it said it was successful , I then tried to create a new partition also using the command prompt but it gave an error and was unable to do it
-
what software are you using to partition ?
-
@grant2258 I tried doing it through the computer’s command prompt

delete your partitions with this make sure you do the sd card!
-
@grant2258 thank you , I will try it when I get home
Just FYI this is what i did using the command prompt
-
@Niko0422 youll get on better with this windows doesnt deal with linux well natively.
Basically you delete all partition on the sdcard the add one big fat32 then use sd formatter after that if you want or format it with this.
Newer versions of sdformatter will format bigger sdcards wrong for retropie it needs fat32
-
@grant2258 will the link you provide delete the partition and also format it to Fat32?
-
yes
the app will take care of this for you all you. If you have problems using it ill help you out
-
@grant2258 I tried using the tool and when I click on “Delete all partitions” it seems to work
But after I click on apply it seems to do nothing even though it says it’s successful
And now the sd card doesn’t show up on my computer drives
Am I using the tool wrong ? -
hi just in from work you need to make a new partition with the app then apply it (fat32) use all the space. .
if the old partitions are showing take the sd card out and put it in again. If that doesnt help reboot and start the app again then make the partition
you can also reload a disc by selecting it and pressing f5
-
@grant2258 I’ve tried several times and the old partition still shows, can I creat the new partition even if it still show “boot” and “Retropie”

Just as a friendly advice, "it said that" and "an error" aren't very helpful. You should quote or photograph any messages word-for-word like you did before with the edger message. The devil often is in the details of the wording.

The tool only displays what it intends to do until you click on "apply". So, the display before applying the changes doesn't say anything about the success.

That still is the old card, right? SD cards may switch to read-only mode when they break. So it just may be that the card can't be written to or formatted anymore, or the controller can report success to the formatting tool when there actually was no success (that's how forged flash media does report more capacity than it actually has). Can you test it on another computer? Although unlikely, your card reader may be also at fault here. I would double check on another system to be sure.

Ill try write ou instructions for you to do this. It could be your not using the app properly or the d card is broke. I do have one question your memory card reader does the sd car plug in that or you you plug it in a big card first?
