On my Homebrewed Wii, my SD Card is not being read. It detects it is in there but Homebrew and anything else doesn't read it. My computer reads it fine. So I thought my Wii was getting old, so I decided to move everything to vWii on my Wii U, and it was working fine, for about 2 hours. Then I got the same error. Haven't tested on Wii U mode, but any ideas?

Did you check if the 'lock' switch was moved?

It's an obvious thing, but I mention it because I've done it before...and it took me far too long to figure it out!

Yup, not locked. The strange thing is that this happened with two different SD Cards, forgot to mention.

Yup MicroSDs. The thing that gets me is they both work perfectly on computer.
I'd suggest trying another adapter anyway. It might just be coincidence that they're working on PC. It's sometimes seemed that way for me too when I used the MicroSD card on my PC and went to plug it in the Wii and it wouldn't be recognized, but wiggling the MicroSD card in the adapter or unplugging/replugging the card in the adapter and the adapter itself usually helped, failing that getting another adapter (preferably one that hasn't seen much use) always works.

I've tried it in multiple adapters, so the adapter can't be it.

Have you tried Formatting the Card? If not so, then try it

First: Copy the files onto the PC *like backing up or so
Second: Format the Card into "FAT32" and then Copy the Files Again
Third: Insert it to the wii without pushing the MicroSD (the middle of the SD's leg opposite)

Plan B: Pull the Card from the Wii, Remove the micro SD, insert it back to the adaptor with gentle force, Gently Insert it to the Wii, also if I haven't been sucessful, Copy the Files of your current SD card to another SD card and plug it back to the wii and see if they work.
