I couldn’t get any useful info from the posts. I am in the middle of trying what you said so I will tell you after.

So should I try with the nexxtech? I will and I will get back to you ounce I try it out. So here are the steps I think I have to do:

1: format the nexxtech sd to factory settings on windows explorer/command prompt(the reason for the command prompt is because when I format the sd it is locked to 56 mb. Using command prompt I can format it to 8 gb. Please tell me if this affects anything. I will be trying this tomorrow morning my time, which is Winnipeg time).

2. Download retropie as a torrent

3. Run it through a torrent downloaded(e.g. Frost Wire)

4. Write it to nexxtech sd using win32

5. Run it on the pi and see what happens.

Tell me if I got anything wrong please.

I format the sd on windows explorer (documents/downloads/computer/etc.). And I use 7zip to unzip retropie.gz, and I write with win32. It gives some error messages in 7zip while extracting/unzipping, so I wonder if that’s a problem.

Thanks for taking your time to help me! :)

Okay. So I will try a new sd. I want to avoid buying a ne one. I am not sure, but I think that the sd I got preinstalled with raspbian is sandisk. If it is, is there a way to format it safely, and install retropie. I don’t want to waste that sd. The reason I am skeptical, is that the the sd that caused the panic: vfs also caused the same problem with raspbian. So I don’t want to waste it. I will show you a pic of the nexxtech sd raspbian problem if you want. If you want me to, I can attach pictures of both sd’s. Please tell me what causes the panic problem, and of I can safely format the preinstalled sd and put retropie. Thanks.
