Have you tried the tutorial I posted m8 ?
Try another memory card first see how you get on.

[oldman77]

What is the file structure on your card ?
root folder etc etc

[cgscott]

Are you using the auto installer to foramt and install the card?

[oldman77]

root folder is as shown in bannerbomb and mii file is imported and drag and drop, when i wipe card clean i use fat file to delete all files everytime i put new files on it.

Wouldn't worry too much about boot mii, try getting the homebrew channel on first.
Are you using the v2 bannerbomb ?

bannerbomb

If one doesnt work there are a few other files to try there m8.
Whats the serial of yer wii ?
Number 3 is wrong, it's already renamed.

M8 when you click on your SD card in your computer do you see the following,
Private
boot.elf

Inside the private folder should be Wii folder,inside the wii folder is a title folder, inside the title folder there should be an aktn folder,then inside the aktn folder should be a content.bin

If your SD card does not read like this change it then put it in your Wii, then click on the SD card at the bottom left of the Wii to start the homebrew channel install.

All i need now is how to burn wii games onto disk can i use nero or is there any prefered burning tool that i might need to d/load.

Have you got the homebrew channel on now?
Are these downloaded games or bought games you are trying to copy m8 ?
