Hey,
So im new into modding on the Wii U, used the HDD as Storage on my Wii U. Now it won't recognize the HDD when i plug it into my PC.
Any sugsestions? Wasnt even showing up in CMD/Diskpart

Thanks in advance!

That's how's supposed to be. The WiiU applies its own file format to the HDD, that a PC (by normal means) can't read.

Once the WiiU uses the HDD for storage, the Computer won't be able to use it unless you delete all partitions and reformat the drive.

Can't remember though if WiiU USB Helper can see the drive's contents and modify them (i.e. add games, dlcs and so on).

Oh okay i Unterstand! So i have a Bug on paper Mario color Splash. It crashes after the Intro, the only fix i found was del the Intro or rename it. The Game is stored on the External HDD. I will try with USB helper and look If this fix my problem.
Thank you so much!
