      Hello, I´ve tried to install realbox, but installation failed with this error message:

      Error creating file system
      
      mkfs.fat: warning – lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows
      
      mkfs.fat: failed whilst writing FAT
      
      mkfs.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
      

      I followed the manuel step by step... formatting SD-card with SDFormatter, copied unzipt files to card, put the car in my RPi and start. I tried with and without plugged ethernet and language german/english.   My Hardware: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Transcend Premium microSDHC 32GB Class 10   What can i do to get it run?   PS: Sorry for my bad english, but there is unfortunatly no german forum.

          Thanks for your answer, but its the same error with your type of formatting. i further researched and i think its a problem with my SD-card... https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/issues/230

              Hi pals, yes some sd cards really dont work well with the rpi sd controller driver. We will have to wait for the rpi team to correct that, as i really have no idea how it works 🙂
