    Hey, I'm I hope I can get this from ya but all the other usb loaders I have tried keep coming up with errors. I have a Toshiba 300gb ext drive formatted with 200gb WBFS and 100gb Fat32. Do you see any problems with that? It's seems my wii doesnt even know the HD is there.

    Did you install the cIOS 36 Rev installer? It is important you do that before you try to access the Drive.

    I have tried various usb loaders but keep getting the following:

    error ret = -1)

    any advice on what the problem could be, the wii is seeing the drive.

    If the wii is seeing the drive, may be it is not formatted properly! I had this problem before after a second format it was fine. Try this and see. Hope this help.

    Not having much luck with this, bought dvd-r tdk and the wii wouldn't read them, then got Arita and my dvd writer keeps spitting them out eventually got some to work using cheap ridisk, but would prefer the usb drive as I'm worried about the wiis laser.

    I would format it as FAT32 first then WBFS. Have you tried to format it using your wii console itself? Try that first and see.

    Why not just try it and see for yourself. It's not that much hassle to just go ahead and test something for yourself is it ?

    It's a bit picky at the minute regarding drives. There is a list around on the net which will guide to which drive is compatible with USB Loader, Try google mate.

    Had some spare time so did it for you:
