Hacking cfg usb loader - sudden problem with a HDD

[coldmeat]

I have been using cfg usb loader with 3 HDD for years with no problems.
Each of HDDs is divided in 2 partitions - one Fat32 and one Ntfs where I keep the games in Wbfs format.
I was using a Win7 PC to copy the games to these HDDs and then was just connecting one of them to my Wii, without any need to change aynthing.
Recently I have changed my PC system to Win10, connected one of these HDDs to uploade some more Wbfs games, connedcted the drive back to Wii and it stopped working...

I have not changed anything (at least not on purpose) about this HDD, checkdisk sees no errors, but when I connect it to Wii, i see a message:
Partition auto not found
when I press A to select partition it shows me both partitions (Fat & Ntfs), but I can't make it to list the games from ntfs drive.
when I connect any of my 2 other HDDs to Wii - they work like a charm, as they have always been...

any ideas what went wrong?
thanX in advance

Hello,

Connect the external hard drive to the USB port 0 of the Wii ??

Is your external hard drive old?

yes, I have not changed the usb port
the HDD is a few years old, but it was working without problems so far
and two other HDDs are exactly same (they are all Verbatim) and work without any problems
