Hi so I went to move some files onto my external that I use for my backups for my wii U. But the drive wouldn't appear on my PC so I went and ran diskmanager through the run command and I can see my drive but it just won't pop up. It says it's "unallocated" so I right click and hit "new simple volume" and tried to allocate a partition.
I put my HDD back into my wii U, and says it needs to be formated now. uh...well I guess i'll lose a bunch of stuff but that's fine I got it backed up anyway...
So I do that but now it goes back to being unallocated! (meaning I can't use my external as a storage device on my PC for other things..)
Is there a way around this? a mod maybe? I read that Nintendo has their own encryption when it formats drives or something(wbfs) is there a way I can make it so I can use my external on both my wii U and pc? seems like if I format it on wii u i can't use it on my PC and vice versa.
Any help is appreciated thanks.
