Well... ignore my last post...

After the install scripts successfully run the Pi reboots and flashes white, then gray, then rainbow and repeats for ever...

Back to square one... sigh...

Hi,

I would like to add my two cents to this.

I bought a 64GB Samsung card and ran into countless freaking problems including the resize issue, as well as the wrong MBR/GPT errors. Using Win10 on my Pentuim NUC I couldn't format to FAT32 because Microsoft are j**ks (while I was working on it my NUC just decided to reboot and do Windows updates with out any warning, dropping my remote access session, god d**n Microsoft I swear!).

I couldn't get anything to work, no software would format the memory card into a usable format (I tried many useless packages, no doubt many of them work on WinXP or Win 7 maybe but not Win 10).

So the problem is clearly Windows and it's refusal to let me do what I want. So the way I got around all of this was to first download the OpenELEC img file and use Win32 disk imager (Run as Admin) to write that image to the memory card. This got the memory card in the right format I needed (probably due to all the messing around with it I had done). Afterwards I used MiniToolPartition Wizard Free to delete the FAT32 partition, then created a new PRIMARY (not Logical, very important!!!!) 15GB or so FAT32 partition. After that I right clicked the archive in Windows and used Winrar to extract to the card, then unmount and it worked.

There needs to be an img file, very very very needs to be one. I appreciate the effort the devs of recalbox go to for us in the community but making an img file will help make things as painless as possible.
