Hi all,
After years of dormancy I decided to resurrect my hacked wii with a new Seagate 6TB Expansion drive (actually cheaper then the 4TB).
I formatted the drive into a 2TB FAT32 partition and a 4TB(more like 3.5TB) NTFS partition. When I startup it wont even recognise that there is a USB drive attached and it will crash.
However, when i delete the NTFS partition (leave as unallocated space) or create multiple FAT32 partitions(2TB is max size), it will work fine.
I am pretty sure my old 4TB drive(crashed years ago) was a single partition NTFS drive and it worked fine.
Anyone have any ideas on why the drive completely stops working once I add an NTFS partition at all? I could leave as three FAT32 partitions but I don't think any of the loaders will recognise 3 partitions...?
Any feedback is appreciated.
