NOOBS fresh image on SD card only three options for OS

Sat Mar 14, 2015 2:53 am

I have formatted my SD card and copied the contents of latest NOOBS zip file. In the first boot screen I only see three options for OS
* Raspbian
* Data Partition
* Raspian - Boot to Scratch

Is there any thing I am missing here. According to all the articles I read, I was supposed to get more than three like OpenElec etc.
I really appreciate any help in this regard.

I am kind of a newb to this too. Do you have Internet connection? If I remember right having internet connect gives you more choices in that menu. I believe.

Quite correct and nothing wrong what-so-ever, you need an Internet Connection via the Ethernet Cable to be able to download / install other choices.

If you have RPi2 B some of the additional Operating Systems are not compatible.
Rather than negativity think outside the box !
