So have you Prepared the SD card and backed up your NAND?

Before I went toooooo far with the constant installing and changing of my SD card (after getting everything working properly), I made a complete backup of my SD card. Basically a safe save spot to get back to just in case I screw something up.

After I learned a little bit more about what I was doing, I can now refer back to some of the files to clean up my screwy changes I've made to WiiFlow and other things without having to download stuff again.

Well I've just watched that video again and it doesn't mension backing up your NAND. If you don't have [BootMii] folder on the SD card with armboot.bin, bootmii.ini and ppcboot.elf in there and keys.bin and nand.bin on the root of the SD card then I wouldn't say it hasn't been backed up.

Even though you've installed USB loaders you may as well do a backup. You're going to have to softmod it again but only choose Prepare SD card. You say you have PriiLoader installed well check it out if it works. Start your Wii up then press the Reset button and PriiLoader should start if it doesn't then PriiLoader isn't installed. With your SD card inserted select BootMii from the menu. Then you need to use the Power and Reset keys to navigate. Power moves along the icons and Reset selects that icon. Move to the right and select the gears. The first icon is the NAND backup press Reset again and just wait until its finish then exit out back to the Wii menu.

Remove the SD card and copy the [BootMii] folder and keys.bin and nand.bin to a safe place.

The beauty of PriiLoader is if you do brick your Wii for some reason and it won't start up or show anything pressing the Reset key should bring up PriiLoader so you can run BootMii and navigate along the icons to restore your NAND.

Good spot there Keith, do you remember doin this bowie ?
every time you make a major change to your Wii, it's advised you make a nand backup, only takes about 10-15 mins, always let it verify too at the end.

Yes do your nand backup now but don't try to test it as you only have bootmii as an ios. Let it verify yes but do not try to reinstall it to test it.
