Hello,

I'm running a US Wii w/ system menu 4.0u that was soft-modded using the UBER guide, and then upgraded to cIOS Rev14.

The FAT32 Transcend 16GB SDHC card I use for homebrew functions fine in HBC, and on a PC as well as other mobile devices,
however when I try to access the card from the Wii Main Menu I receive the error message:

"The device inserted in the SD card slot cannot be used".

Is there any reason why the card would function at full capacity in HBC, but not for the Wii Main Menu? Has soft-modding my
Wii removed the ability for SDHC cards to be read by the Wii Main Menu?

Any suggestions or work arounds? I also tried the search feature but was unable to come up with any threads regarding high capacity
cards with the same problem I'm having on 4.0u or higher. If I missed something, please post the link.

Thanks!

What do you mean by "i set the wii back to factory default?" Did you just Format the system memory, removing channels and what not? IIRC there isn't a factory default restore option in the Wii menu. If you did format the system memory, how did you reinstall the HBC? Bannerbomb? Backup from SD?

well i actually had a bricked wii and i messed up so i had to factory reset and then i checked and my SDHC card did work. its only when you hackk your wii and keep it on 4.1 or 4.0 that it wont work. im just guessin from my experience and i don't know if there is a way around it but i hope there is

Well I finally managed to get it to work. I ran my card through the Panasonic SD Formater [Easily found on google], and it ran perfectly.

if you have preloader installed you have to change the system menu ios to ios 60 because system menu 4.0U uses ios60 not 30
had the same problem did this and now it works
