Using Etcher on Big Sur to copy an .iso of my Raspberry Pi’s RetroPie install. I ran Etcher and got an error that “Flash Failed.” “Unmount failed, invalid drive.”
But when I looked at the SD card, it had a boot partition. And it works fine in my Pi!
Now I’m happy it seems to have worked, but nervous that there’s some lurking error I’m unaware of that will wipe out my back up card.
Here is the info I gleaned from CMD-OPT-I. Any thoughts?
