~*L33T_NiNj4*~ Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I formatted my old 150 GB hard drive to fat32 to use with my hacked wii (4.1U). I Used this guide to do it: www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/96770-guide-fat32.html. I used USB loader GX (Newest Version). But every time i plug in my drive and start USB loader (on the wii) it trys to find my drive for 20 seconds and then gives up and says drive cannot be found. I would appreciate any help. Thanks you Guys. P.s Sorry if this is in the wrong place i couldn't decide between Questions/Gaming Talk :D Edited June 27, 2012 by ~*L33T_NiNj4*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Did you plug the harddrive in the USB port on the that's on the right (outside)? It will only read the disk in that port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that fixed the problem but i was wondering does it matter if the wii is Fat32 of WBFS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've always used WBFS, I thought it had an ok interface and I was able to see game covers etc. Also at the time the USB loader I used didn't support Fat32, so I've never used it actually don;t know about the loading times, maybe it has more difficulty reading from a Fat32 disk? Not exactly sure on that one so you should test it out if you get the chance :) Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i use fat 32 so i can use my drive for the wii and for file storage. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
