Hello All,
So i went into sx os emunand settings and accidently pressed create emunand.
I was on the free version so was testing and it started.
Then i pressed cancel and then i closed the nintendo switch.
Now went i want to create a license request file since i plan on redeeming my license code.
It gives an error boot.dat? (in red with an sd card with a face in red).
What should i do? also after cancelling my sd card got renamed to TXNand.

A suggestion try wiping your sd card with a small damp cotton bud with alcohol it might just be your sd card being dirty. I do know from experience the sd card reader slot on the nsw is really poorly made I have changed mine twice since owning it because of boot and sd card errors game/homebrew nsp related but changing the reader does work.

That's normal.
https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html

That software can solve it for you, you can do it via Diskmanager in Windows as well, Easesus just make it a bit easier for novice people (or lazy)
Ahh thanks.
Done it and have formatted my SD card and then just put everything back in the SD card.
Thanks a bunch.
