      @shamanmogz your only problem is that your share device is not detected, which seems confirmed by both 1st issues. Can you mae a support archive ?

        I tried running the script in WINSCP's console and got the following:

        /recalbox/scripts$ /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-support.sh
        /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-support.sh: line 43: lsmod: command not found

              I'm not sure what you mean by that - or more importantly I'm not sure how to fix it.

              As far as I know it was working in 03.30 for a few weeks, I was playing a few roms - then the update started making it act up. I did a fresh image burn using etcher on the hard drive (internally attached on another PC). The fresh burn of the image was done in the exact same way as the first time. Why would this version loose the share on the hard drive?

                @shamanmogz the joys of x86, a much more complex architecture than a raspberry pi ...i could suggest you test a script i planned to upgrade which i supposed to solve such problems

                      @shamanmogz Run a SSH shell and :

                      mount -o remount, rw /
wget -O /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-part.sh https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/blob/c251d7eb56c5d12622c5189e48d23dc9ec79775b/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/recalbox/scripts/recalbox-part.sh

                      Then type reboot. Once rebooted, change the language to something different than english or just check the available size in system options and report back. I won't be online this evening

                        @Substring Thanks for helping out, I appreciate your fit this in around your other life duties.

                        I tried the commands as requested:

                        Using username "root".
                        root@recalbox's password:

                        mount -o remount, rw /

                        wget -O /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-part.sh https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/blob/c251d7eb56c5d12622c5189e48d23dc9ec79775b/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/recalbox/scripts/recalbox-part.sh

                        Sadly even after a reboot (via command or by making a change to the language causing a reboot) it did not work.

                        Something that is interesting - I have noticed that the SHA-256 and MD5 for the WINSCP connection changes after every reboot - but i guess this is to be expected if it's a new live instance running every time.

                          @substring ok my bad - i didn't realise that the commands you gave me wouldn't run the script as well.

                          Using the commands:

                          • cd /recalbox/scripts
                          • chmod +x /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-part.sh
                          • sh ./recalbox-part.sh

                          I get the following:

                          ./recalbox-part.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./recalbox-part.sh: line 1: <!DOCTYPE html>'

                          This looks like the wget did something wrong (or i did), so I followed the link to get the correct .sh file and using vi edited the recalbox-part.sh above. I now end up with:

                          ./recalbox-part.sh <boot|system|share_internal|prefix x|previous x>
                          boot: the recalbox boot partition
                          system: the recalbox system partition
                          share_internal: the recalbox share internal partition
                          prefix x: the disk of the partition x (without the partition number)
                          previous x: the partition before x on the same disk

                          I think this is far as i can go without more help (i have 1% linux skill)

                                @shamanmogz in case the script didn‘t run well, try it with the correct (raw) address:

                                  @Substring & @paradadf I re-ran the scripts augmenting the commands from my previous attempt and got the following results:

                                  # sh ./recalbox-part.sh boot
/dev/sda1
# sh ./recalbox-part.sh system
