      @Chapster5 said in Pi 4 + Running ROMS from USB stick:

      does this look correct:

      It does, but it's missing a partition. Your USB partition is at /dev/sda5, which is the 1st logical partition, but you also have another primary partition (/dev/sda1) which might be un-formatted and I assume it was that partition that was causing issues with the boot.

      Anyway, all is well when it ends well. Out of curiosity, how did you format the USB drive - did you use Windows or other OS ?

        Using FAT32 Format

        Plugged the stick in, clicked format and waited haha.
