NEED HELP!
I have an HD (WD 500GB) set up NTFS. I run USB-loader CFG V7. I have move all my ISO file from PC to HD in a /wbfs folder using wiibackupmanager. When I plug the HD in my wii, i can't see games on the drive.
I have no problem Copying original discs to my hard drive and playing them again but can't see any games copied from my PC.
How can I see my games.
also when I download original game from disk to HD, I don't see them on my PC.

I didn't think cfg 7 could read ntfs, thought it could only read fat 32 or wbfs. How many partitions on hdd and what order are they in ?????

I have move all my ISO file from PC to HD in a /wbfs folder using wiibackupmanager.
I think if these are ISO files you don't copy them to a wbfs folder that folder is for wbfs files. Just copy the ISO to a Games folder. I think the file format has to be Wii game ID then the game name.
e.g.
[R6KP36] Ashes Cricket 09
Thats only what I've read because I use WBFS Manager (http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/) because its simple like me. All my games play on all 3 USB Loaders.
Please post a sysCheck (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/syscheck-v2-1-0-beta-17-2071/) as instructed in that link so we can check you have the correct wads installed.

The default transfer method for wiibackup manager is to convert them into wbfs from iso exactly the same as wbfs manager. To transfer them in any other format is done by extracting the game not transferring it.

Thanks I will check with FAT32, I have an other drive here same that I just formated has FAT32 and then transfer my iso file with wiibackupmanager to the WBFS folder as a .wbfs will try on the wii later.
I will post a syscheck as soon as I have a chance (unless I solve problem before)

hey, umm i formatted my usb drive in uloader by hermes and now every time i launch usb loader gx it says "0.00gb of 127gb Free" even though i have games in it. i have already formatted it back to fat 32 and back to wbfs, and transfered the games using wbfs backup manger and still says the same even on my friends wii

May be your drive isn't compatible.
