Hi,
Yes, I believe I did set my RP2040 on Bootloader mode but my code is still stock at "Failed to mount filesystem!"( which is even further back in the code that I was couple weeks ago). In order to find where I might be mistaking, here is a precise description of the steps I follow each time:
1- Set my wire circuit on breadboard with RP2040 and and screen
2- Plug the RP2040 on computer with USB-c data sync cable
3- Bootloader mode: holding down the BOOT/BOOTSEL button, and while continuing to hold it, press and release the reset button. Until I see a RPI-RP2 drive appear on my my computer
4- Drag and drop Nuke file (from Adafruit website) on the drive : drive icon disapeared for couple second and reappears
5- Drag and drop “adafruit-circuitpython-adafruit_feather_rp2040-en_US-7.3.3 (6).uf2” on the drive : drive icon disapeared for couple second and reappears as CIRCUITPY
6-Delete all invisible files from CIRCUITPY
7- Drag and drop "Arduino-Logo-320.gif" on CIRCUITPY. At this point, this is how it looks like:

8-Open Arduino IDE 2.0.0 or Arduino 2. 8.15 (I always try both now)
9-update libraries
10-Go online and copy code from
https://learn.adafruit.com/mini-gif-pla ... if-players and compile code
11- Upload code on Feather RP2040
On both Arduino and Arduino, I can upload the code on Fether but my serial monitor
still shows this message:
Adafruit SPIFlash Animated GIF Example
Flash chip JEDEC ID: 0xC84017
Failed to mount filesystem!
Was CircuitPython loaded on the board first to create the filesystem?
***
On a side note, this is not as important but, I want to point out something going on with my
switch in my circuit.
-When the witch is OFF, the white light behind my TFT screen is on and the Drive appears on my computer. Code can be uploaded on the drive.
-When the switch in ON, the white light behind my TFT screen is OFF and the the drive is being ejected/disconnecteed from my computer or DOESN'T appear. Code canNOT be uploaded on the drive.
I just want to know if this is normal
Again, thank you for your help
