      In my last post I asked about how I could salvage my roms from the SD card because I had lost my flash drive with the roms on it. I got a helpful tip and decided to copy the files using midnight commander on retropie from the roms folder to another flash drive. In the document that I was sent, it said that I could access my flash drive through midnight commander my going to media/usb. My problem is that I can't find that media folder anywhere. Help is appreciated.

        @nate I think you need to create the folder youself, if it doesn't exist, and mount your flash drive underneath the folder.

        mkdir -p /media/usb
        # insert the flash drive
        mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

          Thanks! I just figured out I could do file sharing and I'm currently copying the file to my desktop as I type. Thank you!!!!
