Hacking Can't see the WBFS drive

[Rezvonflux]

Ok, to all who've seen my last post, i've managed to get the Loaders (USB Loader 1.5 and CoverFloader) to load finally and have added them both to my v4.2U wii menu.

Now, i thought i ran both WBFS Manager and/or ncWBFSTool to both format a whole external USB HDD (40GB) and then actually move to PAL games over (SUPER MARIO GALAXY and SONIC RACING) succesfully. It even said so...

...so, plug in the external drive... turn the wii on... chose either the cloverfloader channel and it says theres no drive installed...
...or USB loader says the drive isn't formatted and when i try to, gives me and ERROR: No partitions found! ret= -6??


anyone have any ideas?

try this,
turn off wii and hdd,
plug the hdd to the pc,
turn on the hdd,
when recognized unplug from pc and plug on the wii and try it now,
if it works it means that you have the same problem as me...

good luck

 

[Rezvonflux]

unfortunatly that didn't work....i tried it again...
...knowing my luck it's my external drive...



i do believe that the same problem occured with a 8GBUSB stick....

Can anyone tell me if it's due to a missing IOS?


how can i get a run up of what i have and what i'm missing?

am i missing like a IOS249 or something in that likeness?

yes, you will definitely need a cios - its what will allow your wii to see a hard drive.

 

[Rezvonflux]

so basically format to NTFS and then WPFS it basically?

also to let you know, when i check DOP-Mii, these are the values that show "enabled" are :

250, 249, 36... is that correct?

 

[OncleJulien]

your drive can be fat32, wbfs or ntfs, or even a combination of them, depending on how you intend to use it, but you'll need to install a hermes or waninkoko cios for your wii to understand there's a hard drive plugged into it.

i'm trying to fully commit and external USB 40GB... i know, it's just to try out for now till i get anything bigger.
so aside the missing IOS, i still need an WPFS partition right to place ISO.... (almost confusing)

Don't use USB loader 1.5

It's strongly outdated...

 

[Rezvonflux]

i got USB loader and CoverFloader channels installed

 

[Rezvonflux]

i'm being asked now in Custom IOS Installer to select an IOS version...

..i'm given 37, 38, 57, 60, 70... which?

UPDATED: tried 38, not dat one

As baffling as your case may be, I also have had problems with USB not detecting the drives.
So I used uloader.
It worked.
Also, FYI, I needed a SD card in its slot when launching USB loader GX, Wiiflow, etc, for the USB drive to be recognized.
Uloader worked with or without an SD card.
