Hello! I'm a new user here, and first thing I have to say to the creators of this: thank you a lot!

I have a question about using this installer: The HD I'm currently using with my Wii U doesn't seem to like it a lot, and in some specific situations it fails (if I try to transfer MK8 from HD to system memory, or if I try to play Splatoon with the HD connected). So, I'm scared of my HD failing during the install, if this happens, the console can brick? (I know there's always a chance, but it's a very high chance if this happens?)

EDIT: Forgot to add, I don't think it is a power issue, I use the HD with a Y cable.
Then, I recommend not using your Hard drive for anything. Do you have a flash drive at least with 32gigs or more?? Use that. You won't be able to brick your console, but if files screw up with transfers from your wii u to HD or vice versa I wouldn't even try to use your hard drive. Check it out on the PC see if any thing is wrong with it. But I'd use a flash drive to be safe if that's how your hard drive is going to act. If you do try it with your hard drive the installer should say failed and won't brick your system

To answer your question, the console would not brick. My USB storage device unplugged during the installation and I was told to restart the console, which worked just fine :)

edit/ Although it doesn't brick, you shouldn't use any storage device that has problems like yours, especially if you write something or move to the internal HDD

That is true. If you have problems with the hard drive in the first place, then don't risk it. It won't brick like Frog said, but use a USB drive or just the system memory to be safer than sorry.

These are perfectly working games I have installed. I do not own physical nor digital copies of the games.

It's maybe just an issue with the "sleep mode" some HDD have. Try disabling it, instructions should be in the OP.

USB Loader?? I am sorry for sounding like a noob, but how do I use that?? I have just been dragging the tik files on to UTikDownloadHelper and just let the download begin. Never had issues. I posted a picture earlier in this thread showing what games I have installed without any issues. I am going to be downloading Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate at school tomorrow since the internet there is roughly around 10mb/s

Is this stable? I found the "Brazillian Exploit" thread, it told me to go to that thread.

Is it possible to change HD with all the installed games ? I have a 500gb full of wiiU games and iwould like to use a 1tb instead... Is it possible to transfer datas ?
Is there a way to see my HD and its content on my PC ? some day may be or the nintendo proprietary format is unhackable ?

You have to do it on the Wii U. When you connect another drive to the front of the wiiu it will prompt you to go to data management to transfer games over. Warning though this took me 9 hours yesterday doing it.

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
