        Both my Pi4 and Pi5 stopped recognizing USB sticks after an update I did a few days ago!
        After updating the setup script and main core, they are not recognized even after rebooting

        I have followed this and re-configured the settings, but nothing has changed.

          Same problem.
          After recent updates, external HDD with retropie-mount doesn't mount and nothing (except settings) shows on emulationstation.

            Same issue here. I updated setup-script today on my Pi 5, tried to update retroarch and my entire external hard drive seems to not be recognized. I even tried to re-enable USB Rom Service and that didn't work.

            So I guess I'll revert back to my old version until this obvious bug in the latest setup script gets fixed.

              It was a bug that the devs fixed. Update retropie-setup script to fetch the latest version and reinstall the usbromservice package.

                When was it fixed because I tried that yesterday and it didn't work.

                          @sugarfree THANK YOU!
                          this is solved

                          never would have thought updating the retro-pie set up script was how I lost the external drive loading.
                          i got busy for a few days, was wondering what to do, this am I was able to get on the forum, seen others having same issue after the update of set up script, then remembered "I did that too!" I seen it's been fixed and re did the update, now i have the drive loading again.

                          thanks for taking the time and adding this info!
                          also thanks to all others who commented advice

                          SOLVED!!
