[QUOTE="Cyan, post: 7858059, member: 746"] If you connect the drive to WiiU and it asks to format, it means your sector 0 has a partition table (or at least a partition table signature). it would be very very unlucky that the WiiU sector 0's information contains exactly the signature (0x55AA) at the wrong place and ask to format it thinking it's not already in WiiU format. But as it happened only after you plugged it to windows, I suspect windows regenerated a partition table with no partition defined. Why did windows edited your drive without your consent is unknown (and strange), but maybe it's possible. what I'd recommend is make a dump of sector 0 (for example with HxD, dump first 512bytes of the hdd, or just take a screenshot and post here) so we can analyze it and tell you if it indeed got replaced or not. To me, you got your sector 0 replaced (or it got corrupt for unknown reason if not replaced with a partition table) What I suggested in the other thread : - format another drive, with the same physical size - make a full image backup of your non working drive (for backup/restore possibility) - dump sector 0 of working drive - replace bad sector 0 with extracted one from working drive I don't know what the first sector contains, so maybe it will not work if it has any file system data on it, but if it only specify the available size and some cryptographic info maybe it can work? No idea either if formatting another drive uses the same crypto key. I think the HDD key is the same until you format your console. in another thread I've read the first 64bytes contains the file system info, so replacing the full sector 0 might not work. EyeKey would know better than me. [/QUOTE]
