My wii u isn't recognizing my hdd, tried both back ports. this is the hard drive i used on my wii so it isn't broken, it also connects to my pc correctly, idk what i'm doing wrong
First time ever connecting it, i think it's y-cableHas it ever been connected to your wii u before and how are you connecting it? ie, y cable, powered usb connector?
So your not using a y cable then?
Is it a powered usb connector though as the wii u will not power your hdd through the usb port. It must be plugged into a power socket.
hmm ok, i'll try to find oneThe Wii U does not deliver enough power through a single USB port, so you must use a Y-cable for the external HDD to use 2 USB ports.
It was not a problem with the Wii.
Sadly, i don't have one i'll have to buy onehmm ok, i'll try to find one
