I looked around on the internet and couldn't find any help, so im posting this here.
I have a 465gb iPro hd that I was using on my softmodded wii. It was formatted with 2 partitions : Fat32 (for files and apps) and wbfs (for backups). It was working fine till one day my wii wouldnt recognize the HD in homebrew. I plugged it into my computer and it asked me to format. I dont care for the files (because i can easilly replace them) so I tried formatting it to NTFS, but I get the error : windows could not format drive. (ive also tried Fat32 and exFat) So i tried using Disk management, to delete the volume and try and make a new one. I can delete the volumes but when i try to refmormat it its never successful. To put files on the HD it needs to be formatted, but i cant format it, so im stuck. Ive also tried a program called Killdrive to restore the HD but it also gets an error. In cmdprompt when i chkdsk it says the file format is raw and it cant be read.. it was suposed to format in NTFS. I can make a 1gb - 4gb partition in disk managent, but i cant put files on it, explorer crashes when i try. Exfat also works to format the whole drive but I still cant put files on, again explorer takes too long to respond. I used to get the error : windows cannot access, parameters are incorrect, or something like that... if you can help me out just leave a reply on this post
