It sounds as though your system has a corruption to the disk partition table - the layout of the disk. The easiest way would be to just flash the system, according to the Atari support pages. (For link, see the FAQ.) You take a USB stick, run some software from another PC or a Mac to put an image on it, then boot from that. I think I saw 2 other people who had a similar problem, with their original Backers consoles, and that fixed it. (The other fix, if you're technical, is to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick, and fix the partitition table as required.) It's not a hardware fault - not even a software fault - it's a very rare error from when the system was installed. My guess is that during software installation, something glitched, or somebody disconnected the VCS too early at the factory, and so the internal software was not fully "expanded" to the system. Very unlucky but easily fixed. I hope that helps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked for you, on my system - 19.7 GB free, 21% used. (So a newly flashed system would likely have 23.5 GB available.) My "System": taking 1.4 GB (including Google Chrome) My "Others": (game saves) taking 3.8 GB. My games are moved onto internal M.2, which is 128GB, 90.3 GB free, 23% used. I also have the games backed-up to a simple USB stick. (Physical media, yeah...) I have all titles except Ato to-date. (Nothing against Ato, but it's $15, also.)
