New to this.... so I have been reading mainly following this....

1. Installed Homebrew Channel and BootMii using Letterbomb
2. Backup Wii NAND using BootMii as iOS
3. Install Priiloader, disabled game and online updates, enabled region free
4. cIOS Installation using d2x cIOS
5. WiiFlow
Now, I assumed you can use a HDD and instead of using a SD card for everything, so I wanted to just copy/paste the entire content from the SD card to an external HDD (since I'll need a HDD to store my backup games anyway).
So I did that, but then nothing would show in Homebrew Channel, I didn't know that the Homebrew Channel needed FAT32.
So I made a partition on my external drive 20GB, FAT32, 32K cluster size (but I assume I could of just made this 5GB), the rest of the partition is in NTFS.
Again, I copy/pasted the files across from the memory card to the FAT32 partition, and I moved the wbfs folder onto the NTFS partition.
Now, in homebrew channel, I can see all the programs (wiiflow, d2x IOS, preloader)
So I load up WiiFlow, and it shows one game, I downloaded the cover art, looks good.
When I go to load the game, the Wii would go black and rest.
I plugged the USB HDD into the bottom usb port (when the wii is flat) and the game loads fine.
Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
Seem the top USB port causes a reboot?
Also, in regards to the d2x cIOS, for the first one, I didn't change the revision to 65535, I just left it at 21006 because the instructions said it was optional, for the second one I did exactly as the screenshot showed which was 65535. I assume I can just re-run through the d2x cIOS app and do it again yes? I believe if I do this, it will stop my Wii from telling me there's an update available, ever time I make a new network connection in the Wii settings?
Thanks and sorry for the numb questions.
