Your HDD can't be to big for the usb loaderspecialjerm said:This doesn't detect my external HD. It's 120 GB, which I'm assuming is too big.

So any ideas about why my HD isn't found by USB loaders (I've tried a few) but is detected by WBFS Manager?wiistarter said:specialjerm said:This doesn't detect my external HD. It's 120 GB, which I'm assuming is too big.
If anything 120GB is too small.....
A little more information about your drive may be usefull.specialjerm said:So any ideas about why my HD isn't found by USB loaders (I've tried a few) but is detected by WBFS Manager?wiistarter said:specialjerm said:This doesn't detect my external HD. It's 120 GB, which I'm assuming is too big.

My hard drive was detected when I used the .dol version of USB Loader GX 1.0. It stopped being detected when I installed cIOS 223 so I could play Monster Hunter 3. I have no idea why it stopped working or why installing cIOS 223 seems to have stopped it from working.fangthorn said:A little more information about your drive may be usefull.specialjerm said:So any ideas about why my HD isn't found by USB loaders (I've tried a few) but is detected by WBFS Manager?wiistarter said:specialjerm said:This doesn't detect my external HD.

My first attempt was with a Freecom Toughdrive which failed.
My second attempt was with an old 2nd hand 80GB 3.5" drive taken from a dead PC and put into a USB Caddy and this worked like a charm.
My guess is that the Toughdrive failed because it was getting insufficient power from the Wii's USB port, whereas the 3.5" drive's caddy had it's own power supply.
Maybe this is your problem?

I used Windows to create partitions and used WBFS to format it.

From the ReadMii:
QUOTESD:/config/backgroundmusic/
This is the default folder for custom background music.
[...]
Background music --- You can chose custom BG music to be heard in the application here. Click the path at the top to change it. Format is OGG. Keep in mind that bigger songs will result in decreased memory available for other functions. It is possible to completely crash the loader with big files. Try to keep it
