i have followed the instructions on here as to how to load an os on my ard but it isnt working what is the recommended sd ard size and class and speed ? i am using a 64 bit computer will that cause a problem ?

As long as the image fits, the size of the card should not matter (i.e. you need a card >= the image size, how much bigger is up to you). I don't know about the class and speed, maybe a slower card would just slow things down but still work. I am using 32GB Ultra Sandisk cards and never had a problem. It does not matter what you use to write the image to the card, it's an image after all. Can you elaborate on the problem you're having?

i did this already as it is how they said to do it on the site in the directions and no go   i am using a 32 gb sand disc extreme

when i try to use the recommended software it says it is going on but then when i go to my computer it says there is 29 mb on the card

orry,

32GB cards will show up as having a little less than 30GB, that's "normal". What image are you using? The Raspbian and Lubuntu images from the download page did not show anything on my monitor until the graphical login screen, you simply had to wait for a while with a black screen (on the Orange Pi 2). Since loboris made his images available I have been using his (www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/f ... =342&extra=page%3D1).

Edit: sorry, misread 29MB as 29GB. It's like doubleatheman explained, that's just the FAT partition. You should have a second partition with the rest of your system.
