Just installed Emuelec and everything works great on my brand new T95max+, games, bios etc.
I really want to say thanks to everyone working on this wonderful project.
I have few question if you can help.
When insert my SD (64GB) on Windows 10, I see 3 partitions and Windows Keep asking me “You Need to Format the Disk in Drive Before You Can Use It” about H partition.
I suppose formatting partition H can harm Emuelec, so I never do. My concern is to accidentally format it when in hurry.
Is there a way to stop Windows asking to format H partition? Or should I format it?
I’m new to this kind of stuff:
There is an option to switch to RetroArch, what is its use?
You don’t need to do anything, just ignore the error, its because there is a partition Windows can’t access, the partition you need to use is already mounted EEROMS, ignore the others.
In this case he does not need to use disk management, the partition giving the error is EXT4 (storage) which is not supported on Windows, the only thing to do is ignore the error. The only time he needs to use disk management, is when EEROMS is not mounted, which if you look at the screenshot its clearly mounted on I:\ already
Adding: Your suggestion of removing the assigned letter WILL work, but he will need to do this every-time he inserts the SD, which is why ignoring the error would be much faster.
Thanks @EmuELEC & @paparansen for info, now it is much clear.
I’ll do a clone of my SD with Clonezilla before doing anything, just in case
Anyone using Clonezilla? I hope it works for this task, I love it.
I don’t know if Rufus can clone an SD card, it can mount an image but not clone it, or not? Clonizilla is a bit complicated because of the interface, it should clone all disk partitions, the Emuelec system one and the other too (Games included) in one single image.
Ignore this error is the only solution, removing drive letter is not possible because windows can’t recognize that linux partition, both disk managment or diskpart by prompt won’t work.
Be sure to not accidentally format that partition, I did a clone of the whole SD just in case
i have batocera on an external hdd, same partition structure
as emuelec ( ext4 & fat ). for the same reason as you, i removed
the drive letter without any problems.
