Wii USB HD Loader

[Yumraaj]

i don't have a wad folder or any wad files

Sorry to ask this but what are you trying to do with your wii mate?

Toshiba (PX1267E-1G32) 320 GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive this is my hdd

I have checked your Drive and it looks like it should be compatible with your wii. Rod how many partitions are there on your drive? Is 320 the full capacity or part of it?

[rod]

it is full, i think it is only 1 partitions, how can i check it?
if i try to install this cIOS38 Rev.12 in my wii and if it is already in it is that going to brick my wii?

Digital Kaos - Downloads - cIOS36_rev9-Installer

If rev9 do works!!! DON'T try and install rev10 but if it doesn't then install rev10.
Digital Kaos - Downloads - cIOS36_rev10-Installer

If that doesn't work then install this one:
Digital Kaos - Downloads - cIOS36_rev12-Installer

If that still don't work then install this latest one:

This is for being able to play copied games on a usb instead of discs, but when are you able to play copied games from a disc on a wii.

Don't give up just yet matey, I will always be here to help and don't worry you haven't wasted my time (much).

Let start from the beginning:
1. Can you please tell me how did you go about formating the USB drive?

2. Are you using WBFS Manager to format it or wii to format it?

Your USB shouldn't be a problem mate and if you go to the very first page everything is there to get you going in regard with installing USBLoader.

But to be able to play copied games on your wii go to this page and again everything is there.

ive deleted everything in my usb, and formated it for fat32, ive used the WBFS Manager to format it and ive put some games in there, but when i connect it in the wii and go to usb loader the usb loader says that is not formatted and ask if i would like to format it, when i click on yes come a screen saying that the usb cant be formatted, so the usb loader is detecting the usb but not that it is formatted for wbfs, ive tryed every thing but dosent work, tks for your help mate.

Rod, is that the same USB drive you partitioned to create 320gb? or it another drive?

[rod]

hi mate ive just tryed a flash usb of 4gb and it works perfect and ive done everything ive done in the anotherone, sop i think this one of 320gb doesent work on usb loader

So thats it then, it's your drive thats causing you trouble. At least you know it works. If you think of getting a drive in the future please dont buy seagate as it has some compatibility issues, go for freecom, western digital or maxtor.

It looks like you have 2 partitions on your drive and if the main partition was converted to CD Drive that is why you cant format it mate. Try the fat32formatter and use initialize the whole drive, it might or might not let you format it, try and see.

Let me explain this to you.
Let just say you buy a brand new Drive e.g 1 TB and you partition it to create 300 gb from it. So you will end up with a main drive of 700 gb and a Virtual drive of 300 gb.
So if you decide to use the virtual drive with the usb loader, it wont work!!! instead you will have to use the 700 gb.

The answer is to create a partition of 700 gb and leave the main drive to 300 gb. Which mean your main drive will be 300 gb and a virtual drive of 700 gb. The use WBFS Manager to format the 300 gb and away you go.

Hope you understand What I said!!!
Anyway for the best drive I would use this list please dont buy seagate at any cost.
