Move SD Card to windows machine

Open the boot partition, and the file cmdline.txtAdd init=/bin/sh to the end of the line and save the fileThere IS a space before init
console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=5125dbe9-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 init=/bin/sh
At this point, you need to mount the actual filesystem, but without loading fstab. To do that, enter mount -o remount,rw / –target / and hit enterNow, edit your fstab file by entering nano /etc/fstab and hitting enter

sudo mv -v /media/usb0/* /home/pi/RetroPie/

To many steps.Basically I made a mess. I ended up using ext4 file system. Also some how the setup script folder ended up inside the wrong folder. It's a mess. I moved setup back I think? Basically the sd card is not pristine, the share is good.

TODO: I don't like FSTab to UUID. I do Like FSTAb to label. We need to try that and make multiple external label drives that can be used.

UUID="XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX" /home/pi/RetroPie ext4 nofail,defaults 0 0

LABEL="usbdisk1" /home/pi/RetroPie ext4 nofail,defaults 0 0
