hi,
I have softmodded my own wii and used a wd 2tb hard drive to store and play games with no problem.

I have softmodded a friends wii but every time i put the hard drive in it asks to be formatted, i have tried partininoing the drive, u name it i have tried.

When i use the wii to format it crashes out and displayes 5 seconds....no matter what i do it does not seem to want to know...

Any one give assistance??

what program did you use to format the drive?
what format is the drive?

what make is the drive?
did you install a iso before connecting to the wii?

if you have a fat 32 drive then use Digital Kaos - Downloads - wii backupmanager 0.3.beta1 to put at least 1 iso on it then try plugging it in the wii

Well I as understand it you're better off formatting it WBFS Manager then you can add any iso to your drive.

most people are formatting to fat32 now as you can put music, movies.iso's and other files on it which all can be read by the wii.
plus the drive can be read by your pc making it easier to defrag and maintain the drive.

Yes I know it can be formatted FAT32 or NTFS so files can be drag & dropped but how come most specify WBFS?

I would loved to have mine FAT32 or NTFS.

I'm having trouble installing the USB Loader GX-Forwarder.wad as I've said in the other thread.

most tuts are old and were written when wbfs was the prefered option.
have you tried patching your ios36-236 with mmm?

have you tried patching your ios36-236 with mmm?

So where do I find IOS36-236 I don't have it?

NUS only shows 1042, 3090, 3094, 3351, 3607 and 3608 for IOS36.

i have put an iso on but still the same it asks do i wanna format the drive , if i say yes then i get a code dump...

I took the sd card out of my wii and put in my mates and it gets past the format drive bit to where all the games are stored , however when i try and the load the gane i get a black screen....

I then tried the HDD on my wii and it boots up fine and plays games...

whay else can i try to make this work???am lost

Assuming your friend and you are running the same system version 4.3 (you haven't said) and you have the same softmod apps installed then there should be any difference to how they operate should there? There is something different between your systems?

Are you should your wd 2tb hard drive is compatible?

I don't know which OS you are using but they won't format a 2TB external drive FAT32. My WinXP wouldn't format my 147GB drive so I used EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition

i have put an iso on but still the same it asks do i wanna format the drive

What did you use to put the iso on the drive ImgBurn or just drag & drop the iso?

Thats where WBFS Manager comes in it will format any drive and add all your iso's.

Update: Another great site for Wii Softmodding and downloading loads of games is http://www.wiiso.com/ but you have to join before you can read anything but its worth it.

Assuming they are running the same system menu ver. why not run a sys check on both and spot the difference. It will copy a list of everything your wii has installed, run it on both and just compare, see what you have on your's that he hasn't got.

have you tried IOS58 Installer - WiiBrew you need it to launch hdd's from a fat 32 drive

start up mmm and select install and patch ios36 it will also install and patch ios236 job done

Yes I have IOS36-64-3608 but how does that install IOS236 there is no ISO236 listed in NUS?

I've search on here for IOS236 and a link that ajpepe72 has shown but the download link isn't available because Server is under technical emergency maintenance.

Ios236 - GAF***039;s Wii Homebrew Tutorial

You said

no need for that go to the link i gave you for cfg loader click on other useful download link and there is a forwarder link, download the wad put it in wad folder and install with wad manager

I've search for cfg loader in that thread but nothing shows?

Isn't IOS236 for the Configurable USB Loader? I wouldn't mind any bleeding loader Wiiflow or anything?
