Pls follow this guide and verify that everything is fine

If still the Problem exist u can use this checklist to find the Problem:
- plug your drive temporary to external powersupply.
- Get usb loader gx r1272 or r1272 mod 7
- Drive should be formated to fat32 and using MBR not GPT
- Run a check on your harddrive with Powershell and command chkdsk /f.
chkfsk /f /r will correct corrupt sektors but takes longer
- plug your drive in port 0 (wiiu -> back upper one, Wii -> back lower one)
- set in usb loader correct port, filesystem, single partition
- If gx loader dont start correctly with hdd:
Try different loader cios 249/250/251 with installed d2x v10 beta r52 (only support port 0)
- If games dont load or start:
To run some games it needs to be set global or seperatly a different game cios with base 56 or 57.
Else:
- Use this base with cios order with d2x patch
base 57 => 249
base 56 => 250
base 58 => 251
Then use ios 58 as loader ios, plug your drive in port 1 (wiiu -> back lower one, Wii -> back upper one) and set cios 251 as game ios
If games dont appear:
- use correct game path and supported fileformat
- if wii games dont show up, check the box in usb loader gx for displayed game
Alternativ to verify the Problem
Try Wiiflow or CFG Loader. If they work flawless with recognizing the hdd and launching the games, it points that there is a problem with gx loader.
If finally nothing works, your hdd seems maybe not supported. Not every hdd runs well with it.
