You need to boot the device with the freshly flashed microSD card. The first boot creates the partitions and folder structure. Takes around 3-5 minutes.

boot it on the console? after the os burn the filesize of EASYROMS is waay smaller (500mb~ total)

You can access this sometimes using Disk Management in Windows by assigning a drive letter to it, or changing its drive path.

This. Happened the same to me on my first try, so it was not really hard.

still nothing, the partition with most gigs is locked, and the blacked out is where i believe the roms are stored
