Metro M0 Express CircuitPython set up issues

[infectiousdis]

Hi all,
I just got a Metro M0 Express and started with setting up CircuitPython as specified in the manual. I started by copying the file adafruit-circuitpython-metro_m0_express-en_US-6.2.0.uf2 to METROBOOT. The drive name changed to CIRCUITPY and the LED is continuously flashing now in the following sequence 1 Green, ! Pink, 5 Blue on and on. I installed Mu Editor. When I start the editor, it is showing a bunch of modes like Python, CircuitPython etc but not Adafruit CircuitPython like shown in the manual. I selected CircuitPython but the bottom of the editor says "No device connected".

Why is the LED blinking continuously in multicolor after loading CircuitPython. I am running a Windows 8.1....

PS: Sorry for posting duplicate topic as I already opened another topic in a different folder.

Please use code-tags around code.

Did you try to double-tap the reset button. Does the board show up as drive then? And does it show up in MU now?

When I do the double tap reset, the drive changes from CIRCUITPY to METROBOOT. Nothing else happens, Mu still shows No device connected.

My immediate concern is, how do I ensure that the board I received is working correctly.

[infectiousdis]

Should I manually delete everything in CIRCUITPY and try copying everything again one by one....

[blnkjns]

You had a Circuit Py drive appearing?
On Metroboot load the circuitpython file again. Just drag it on the Metroboot drive, just that.
Somehow I could not get MU to work myself, but I have succes when using Thonny.
I see this after downloading the U2F straight to Metroboot:
