Well if you've formatted the drive again and added games with wii backup manager and USB Loader GX still won't see them then I've guessing but it looks like your drive isn't compatible.

I know alot don't like to use it but I've always used WBFS Manager and it always works for me. Just let WBFS Manager format the drive and add a couple of iso files to the drive. Stick it back in the Wii and if USB Loader GX can't see any games then the drive mustn't be compatible as there is nothing wrong with the sysCheck.

ooooooooooooooooooo,, i see where i may have went wrong m8... i did use wii back up to move games from one drive to another then formatted my drive, but , i copy/paste back into my drive , in stead of using wii backup... sorry,

Cor blimmy pudzy what are we going to do with you when you can't follow simple instructions?

As I've advised you stick with WBFS Manager you can't go wrong with that one at least until you know the games work on your HDD then you can use which ever method you want too.

If you converted the games to wbfs while transferring off the wii drive, then copy and paste is the easiest way to out them back on but remember what I said.......You copy the whole wbfs folder back to the newly formatted drive not just the games.

Well your last sysCheck looks ok unless you've changed something since?

Did you install Full cios wad pack?

Just install IOS249 again.

Generally if one USB Loader works they all work.

So does USB Loader GX work ok?

ya working again... ok so kids can play backup games, to copy games, is it the wii flow you use... i did try a game here, but keeps telling me not enough blocks free...................

[Keithuk]

Ok remove the SD card, thats if your using one. If you storing these apps on the drive remove all wads and apps the kids can play with so they don't try and install something and cock it up. Obviously keep backup first.

Case closed?

The thing is with these free blocks it depends on how many channels are on the Wii and the number of saved games you have on there as well. If you click on Option bottom left and click through to the saved games on the left. The number of free blocks is shown bottom right I have just over 1080 as I don't leave saved games on there if I don't use that game, just move them to the SD card. If you click on any saved game the number at the top will tell you how much space that game takes up most games can be 1 or 2 but I hade some use 450. The same goes for the channels you have some of the useless one use quite a bit. The Wii I softmodded over the weekend the Nintendo Internet channel was well over a 1000 so that had to go as its a waste of space.

keithuk cheers m8, simple when its explained to me like that... now last question from me on this for a while.... now i have blocks freed up.. and copy a game to sd card from wii.. do i leave em on sd card, and play from sd card or do /can i get em on to disc... and what kind of disc do i use.. guys thanks a mill.

[Keithuk]

So how many free block did you have before you moved them to the SD card and how many do you have now?

When I play a game the saved game is saved on the Wii. I believe you can save them to the drive now its FAT32 but HH will have to explain that part.

You can leave them on the SD card but if your saved game gets updated with better results or what ever you have to delete the one of the SD card before you can save the new one.

These saved games aren't really named very good if you look on the SD card private\wii\title folders you will see loads on sub folders R7XP, RLRP, RWBX, SC6P, SN7P etc I would assume these are the game ID number but I can't match any of them. Inside each folder there is data.bin 574Kb so it quite big probably that why the free blocks fill up so quick.

keith have you never tried gamesave finder to identify your game saves on the sd card. I'm not 100% sure how it works as I've never used it but it can't be too difficult to figure out.
