Hacking DIOS MIOS "Fatal error apploader size is zero"

[Lokao0]

So, I installed DIOS MIOS for my friend, and he is successful in booting games from both of our HDDs.

Later on, I did the exact same steps to install DIOS MIOS on my own Wii, and got the games showing up on WiiFlow.
Then, when I try to boot up a game with a disc on the drive, it goes into the DIOS MIOS screen, and a second later the "Fatal error apploader size is zero!" message appears.
If I try to boot it up without a disc, it instantly shows me the error message.

I've already tried all "No Disc Patch" combinations with WiiFlow and I keep getting the same error everytime.

What could be the problem?
(HDD formatted to FAT32, 32KB cluster, Logical, Active, etc...)

If it changes something, my Wii has a Modchip (not sure which, though).

Already seen that, and everything listed there is fine.
OK Dump, installed the game multiple times, latest loader, using regular DIOS MIOS to load USB games...
I still keep getting the error.

I get "Fatal error apploader size is zero!"

This means DM was unable to mount the selected ISO for whatever reason.

• Verify that your dump is ok, just google for the md5 hash.
• Try to install the game again (delete the old folder before)
• Your loader is using an incorrect config version
• You installed DIOS MIOS and are trying to load a game from SD card
• You installed DIOS MIOS Lite and are trying to load a game from an USB device

ADDITIONAL REASONS:

• You are using multiple partitions, and the games are not on the correct one (you need to put games on the FIRST partition of the drive)
• You have your Gamecube game's drive connected on USB port1, but have another drive connected on USB Port 0! (Connect Gamecube game's drive on port0, or disconnect Port0)

I had this issue and the only way to fix it was to reformat my HDD with a 32kb cluster again.
