Hacking [vWii related] USB loaders don't read my HDD's

[MigueelDnd]

I'm on the latest WiiU fw version. I tried both Configurable USB loader and USB Loader GX, and both of them give me errors like when you used to connect the HDD in the wrong port back in the Wii times.
Here's what I did: I installed the Homebrew Channel, tried to install cIOS 236 but for some reason it didn't want to, so I just installed the d2x cIOS and downloaded both managers.

Is there anything obvious I'm missing? I've tried all USB ports now, and I tried with my HDD on a hacked Wii and it worked.

Hmm, so I think it's because my drive is FAT 32... why can my Wii read it, then, and not my WiiU?

Are you on FW 4.x or higher? Nintendo did something to the USB ports that made external portable HDDs (that use USB port power) no longer work unless you use a Y cable (or switch to a powered external (desktop) HDD).

Yup, if we're talking WiiU fw, I'm on version 5...
Then I'm SOL?

Unless/until you buy a Y-cable so the power of 2 USB ports can power the drive, yes. They're probably not that expensive, you can probably find a decent one for under 10 bucks, it's just you'd have to wait for it to get there

I'm having a little problem to.I have a 2 terabyte hard drive and got it to work in vWii mode with USB Loader GX by changing to ISO 251,but every time I load the app it tries to load ISO 250 and the hard drive doesn't get recognize until it starts to count down and when I push B button to cancel it loads the games.How to fix so it will load right.

Second problem is with Wii Flow.I can't get it to recognize the hard drive at all.What it does is after it loads it brings up a screen to select partition or enable or disable enand or something like that.How to fix?
