Hello, i have resolved my problème. Setup berryboot totaly in your sd. Install raspbian. Go to clone tool of raspbian and choose the first devices (sd) and the second device (ssd) with UUID new partition selected. After that, go to partition boot of SSD on cmdline.txt, Change bootdev or datadev (=mmcblk0p1) by "sda2" Go in config.txt and edit "initramfs bbloader.img" by "initramfs berryboot.img". I have used the berryboot version of june 2020.

First, check your SD card's file system. Windows will format it by default to exFAT which your Pi4 will be unable to boot from and it will throw you the 'Unable to read partition as FAT' error message if you try booting from an exFAT formatted SD card. Simply re-format your SD card using the FAT32 filesystem and you should be good to go.

I have formatted my SD card to FAT32 but still not working (unable to read partition as fat)

Make sure your SD meets this criteria - https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/sd-cards.md What OS are you using to partition/format the card? I have had problems using MacOS in the past (not sure why). You could try formatting it on the Raspberry Pi (assuming you can get a card to work to boot it!!!).

owl770 commented 3 years ago

You could also check that the partition type is c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

This worked for me... especially using the Raspberry Pi Imager as the formatting tool because my 64GB card is automatically formatted to exFat with the standard tools.

This fixed the issue for me.

The thing is I formatted the SD card on Linux using fdisk and by default the partition type is Linux. I changed it to W95 FAT32 (LBA) and everything was fine.

Avoid exFAT and go with FAT. I fixed this issue with my 64GB USB by reformatting to FAT.

someone please help me, I have to download a .img for a different system, it parts the SD in 3 partitions and I have that error, someone can help me?

physcrowley commented 1 year ago

Is that error happening on the machine where you are creating the disk (then trying to read it) or on the machine that will be using the disk?

The system that creates the disk, eg. Windows, may not be able to read the file system format for the target system, eg. Linux/Raspberry Pi OS... but it may work properly when the disk is in the target machine.
