Well I'm assuming usbloader gx because that's what thread this is, lol.
it's true, but sometimes people can be wrong

Effectively, it was disabled to show GC games in the filter settings, thank u.Well I'm assuming usbloader gx because that's what thread this is, lol.
You should confirm GX's settings are still pointing to the right path for your gamecube games. Make sure u have the latest version of Nintendont, and make sure your GX filter settings has gamecube games check marked
Can anyone recommend a cheap out of the box HDD that 100% works with this loader (especially for Just Dance 2015 etc) and that is easily available to purchase in the UK? I'm currently using a Bipra 320GB but when playing it will suddenly come up with a screen saying 'reading disc'. I assume this is a drive issue? It's a shame as its a nice little cheap drive but I can't figure out what else the problem might be?
May be some useful information here
Thank you and for taking the time to reply. That is useful information but doesn't help in my case I don't think. I'm using a regular Wii (not Wii U), drive is USB powered but came with a Y cable and at the moment I don't think its powering off randomly either. I just left it 30 mins, and booted into the loader and then loaded JD2015 without problem.
I don't know if its the drive (can anyone recommend a HDD that definitely works and is easy to buy in the UK) or my set up [sys info below].
@cosmicnana I use two of this HDD nd works perfectly for any Wii,GC,Wiiware Game.
In that guide it says for optimal compatibility to format the drive in a very specific way using Bootice.
I noticed Wii Backup Manager can also format drives for USB Loader GX as well.
From what I can tell, formatting the drive in a very specific way improves reliability and helps avoid these kinds of issues.

@cosmicnana It works perfectly with the one USB cable included, i formatted them in fat32 (no partitions) using Wii backup manager.
Edit II: Formatted with Wii Backup Manager - all games then transferred to the drive. Same issue
Tried Bootice as guided, thought briefly it might have worked as it lasted longer but after 20 minutes 'reading disc' came up again
Thanks. I have a couple more things to try but if no one else has any suggestions I think I'll give that drive a whirl. Just gutted as its twice the price of the Bipra and I don't really need a TB. That said I do need something that works Might try a format on the Bipra with Wii backup manage as well.
Edit: @Draxikor - Is there a Wii Backup Manager idiots guide somewhere? I don't think it can even see my HDD to format it?

Looks like your Wii might be missing some custom cIOS's that are required to get an external drive up and running. How did you mod the Wii? I recommend you use ModMii, the first link in my signature. It'll correct anything that might be wrong with your Wii setup. When you run it, just select that the Wii has not been previously modded and it'll overwrite anything that is needed.
Are you sure it's a requirement to install a custom IOS, because Nintendon't says it requires IOS58, which I understand is the default IOS, and USB Loader uses Nintendont for Gamecube games.
In my searches I didn't find anything saying that installing a custom IOS was necessary, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
My Wii was modded using the str2hax exploit, which downloaded and launched the latest HackMii Installer, which installed Homebrew channel. All i did then was put the latest USB Loader onto an SD card and ran it from Homebrew channel.
I haven't been able to launch any Wii games from USB yet as I'm waiting for a SSD and USB enclosure to arrive by mail.
In the meantime I did try formatting a USB thumb stick, which USB Loader detected and showed the game in the listbox, however trying to launch it just crashes to Homebrew channel. I thought this was due to thumb sticks being insufficient, but now that you are saying a cIOS is necessary, I'm not so sure... I don't want to meddle with a cIOS if it isn't necessary.

I don't see a syscheck by NoobletCheese, did you mean the one posted by cosmicnana?Lets see if we can a quick answer: @XFlak - Can you look at the syscheck NoobletCheese posted a few message above and confirm if he's missing custom IOS's (if not all needed items) that will allow access to the USB drive. I don't know this stuff off the top of my head and will have to pull a system check myself tonight to see how it is suppose to be set up. On a side note (for @XFlak), sorry, didn't try to copy a game save to the SDXC this weekend, but will also try that tonight.[/USER]
I am interested in finding out about an SSD working. I have never tried it and do not know anyone that has. What maker and size are getting?
On a final note, why are you wasting a SDD for your Wii? It won't be any faster due to USB2.0 speed limitation; although you will be able to benefit from faster speeds when connected to your PC, how often is that really to justify "wasting" an SSD for this purpose? Put that SSD to better use as the primary drive in a laptop or something
