I aquired my RG350. Upgraded to firmware 1.5 using Etcher on Linux Mint. Added localpack v3. All went well but...

External SD card I formatted to Fat32 with default allocation size as per instructions, I even used FAT32 Format GUI to format the card, used default allocation size and quick formatted. MicroSD card is a 32gb Sandisk. Genuine card, as I always check my cards with h2testw to ensure they are of genuine capacity.

When editing an emulator, I press 'Select button' and go to Edit, and choose 'Selector Direcory'. File listing pops up and I click the '..' to go up directory level, no external SD card is listed. I've tried everything and am out of ideas. Ive checked the card over and over again. It fine under Windows and Linux, but the RG350 just doesn't mount it. By external card, I am referering to the additional micro sd card I fitted into the machine.

As a last resort I also tried telnetting into the RG350 whilst it is connected to usb cable via linux terminal on IP 10.1.1.0. Still the SD card is not showing up. Anyone else have any other ideas as I have spent most of the day trying to resolve this issue and its now starting to drive me around the bend. Here is mounted disks on the RG350 I got under telnet....

Hi Dave

Thanks for the response. Turned out the partition table on the card was the problem. I wiped it out with disk part, recreated a primary partition and reformmated to FAT32. All is good now.
