Problem flashing SD card with marshmellow

Hi,
I am having a bizarre problem. Whenever I try and flash marshmellow to an sd card it splits my sd card into four drives. I've tried using etcher and win32discimager and two computers but I get the same problem. I'm so confused. I don't know where else to post for advice and I really need to get this pi working. I was able to get lakka working with it for retropie. I've tried different sd cards and readers and power sources. I just get the rainbow screen when i try to boot..

It changes my sd card to 'boot' and it is read in F G H I drives. I don't know why its splitting the partition drive in this way??
Help!!

Hi.

It looks like you are trying to install Android on your SD card , as there is no official android OS,
I suggest you look to were ever you download the image from for support.

But in general if your SD card is being split in to a number of drives the it must be the way the image is setup to prepare the SD card.

Raspbian for example creates 2 drives a fat32 and a Linux drive on the SD card.

Please ask the developers of this unofficial release of Android for support.
