Can’t install OSMC to 16GB sdcard - Installer Error
Also tried using Sdcard formater and win32diskimager.
Rebooted Computer and Disabled Avast but still get an error.
Where is the installer log file located? (Windows PC)
Thanks.
Should be in C:/users/<your username>
Make sure you running the installer as administrator
Tried as admin, still no luck.
Then logs may hold the only key.
Sorry I didn’t notice you put the location in your reply.
It says cannot access the drive and shows H:\ 15279MB in the log.
After formatting the drive again I notice it still has osmc files on and the size is now 315MB
I can’t seem to get the drive empty and back to 15279MB
Tried windows format, sd card formatter and fat32guiformat, all end up with osmc files still on sdcard and size 315MB.

Restoring backup to “Disk drive” (H:)… 0%failed
Error: Could not lock the volume!
Code : 5 - Access is denied.
That would indicate a failed drive that went into readonly mode. Suggest to test the drive with H2Testw

Yeah it can’t write anything to it anymore, sd card formatter now fails to format.
It’s strange because I’ve not used the card for a while and I formatted it fine at first and wrote the OSMC image to it fine using win32diskimager (like I’ve always done over the years) but when it booted and started installing in the RPI it said can’t mount root and failed.
So that’s when I started using OSMC Installer.

RIP, SD cards can fail anytime without any signs
Thanks for the help anyway.
