Hi Andrew,
Welcome to the world of Linux where most things don't go to plan.
I experienced the same issues trying to write an image to a MicroSD card on
Windows 10. I tried various different tools. You can also try the Raspberry Pi
Imager. I ended up using a raspberry pi to write the image. But, that may not
work for you as I have two raspberry Pis and an Odroid Xu4.
Recently there's was a discussion of raw write and some members were having
luck with that tool.
If you wish, I have an image with speech setup in both in the command-line and
also on the desktop. Shout if you wish to get a copy.
Thanks.

I have plugged it into the Ehternet-over-powerline adapter I usually connect
the HT receiver to and The DHCP server on my access point shows no new IP
assignment.

Hi,===========================================================
The partitions you are describing are normal. Are you able to plug the
Pi into Ethernet and check if it receives an IP address?
Cheers,
Ben.

I'm Andrew Hart. I've recently bought a Raspberry Pi 4b 4G kit and am===========================================================
having some difficulties getting it up and running. I managed to
assemble it, putting on the heat sinks, hooking up the fan and
installing it in the case that came in the kit. The kit came with a
Sandidsk 32GB SD card preloaded with Noobs which was fine and the Pi
actually started with the card before I reflashed it.
Windows could see a partition on the card and, thanks to Seeing AI,
I could tell the Pi would start and display a menu asking for the OS
to be selected on the tv. I didn't know how to progress past this
screen, but from googling around I understood that I would be able to
get up and going by flashing a Raspberry OS image directly to the
card and by adding an empty ssh file to the FAT32 boot partition, I
would be able to gain access via ssh. Also, the latest release notes
for Raspberry OS indicate that Orca could be installed and started in
one go by pressing
alt+ctrl+space on an attached keyboard.
So, I downloaded the latest Raspberry OS image and, following the
advice on raspberryvi.org, downloaded Winflash and used it to flash
the image to the SD card.
After much mucking around, it seems apparent that Winflash does not
work correctly.
I've tried flashing on a Windows 10 Pro machine using the machines
own SD card reader as well as a USB micro sd card reader that came in
the kit, and on an ancient Windows 7 Pro machine I have as well. On
both machines, I get exactly the same result.
Two partitions are created, a 256 MB raw partition and a 29GB
partition which Windows is unable to see. Winflash correctly sees
that the partitions contain fat32 and linux filesystems respectively
if I try to overwrite the card, but Windows only sees a raw
partition. I can also see the two partitions using diskpart and the
first shows a format of raw while the second is not recognised by
Windows.
Also, the Pi does not boot with this card. The HDMI tv I have
connected to it displays "no signal" the whole time. So, it seems
that Winflash is not capable of flashing the image correctly to the card.
Does anyone know what's going on here or can someone tell me what I
can use to flash the card in order to obtain a correctly installed OS?
Thanks heaps,
Andrew.
