Hi! Okay so I got a BBB Rev C in the mail, no sd card came with it so I bought one (8gb). I turned on the BBB and had to change a driver on my computer (Windows 10) to be able to see the board in putty, success. The software that is on it is old and nothing will work properly. I downloaded:Stretch LXQT (with graphical desktop) for BeagleBone <https://beagleboard.org/bone> via microSD card - Debian 9.4 2018-06-17 4GB SD LXQT <http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-9.4-lxqt-armhf-2018-06-17-4gb.img.xz> image - Which downloaded as an .img.xz file. I used 7-Zip to extract the files (i just clicked ok, never chose a specific folder), and the files were extracted to an .img file. When I click on this new file, windows says that it is corrupted, and I do not know what is going on. If I use Win32DiskImager or Etcher, both programs say that writing the image was successful! But it is not! if i remove the sd card and insert it back in my computer, everything is lost and I have to reformat it (Fat32)! - I do not know why I have to reformat the card, I do not know why I lose everything, I do not know why files are being corrupted, I do not know why the image will not stay on the sd card, and I do not know if a previous software being installed on the board can cause issues.
