[QUOTE="Eaglemeat, post: 8639612, member: 474609"] I got a new larger hard drive I want to use with my Wii U. The current hard drive is connected by a USB powered enclosure with a Y-cable. I also have one of those USB external drive bay dealies with its own power supply that let you plugin an internal HHD like its a big cartridge. Both are SATA. I originally tried putting the new drive in the external bay and copying from the original drive to the new drive. That part worked fine, but when I then put the new drive into the old drive's enclosure it acted like the drive wasn't formatted. Next I tried it the other way, putting the new drive into the enclosure and the old drive into the drive bay. I was able to format the new drive in the USB powered enclosure, so I know that's not the issue. But with the old drive in the external drive bay, it no longer recognized the drive as being formatted with my WiiU data. When I put the old drive back into the original enclosure it was recognized again. I don't know much about the tech details of USB and SATA, but does anyone know if the Wii U ties the hard drive to the interface so that you basically can't move the drive from one enclosure to another, or is there some other issue I'm not realizing? I suppose if this is the case, then the next step is to use a third hard drive as a temporary intermediary drive. For what it matters, I'm using CBHC and have Wii and GCN games installed as WiiVC/WiiWare games. Only partially related, when viewing the drive contents on the Wii U of the original HHD there's a file labeled ??? that refuses to copy. I thought maybe it was some sort of system files, but then I would have thought the new hard drive once formatted for the Wii U would have something similar, but it doesn't. [/QUOTE]

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
