"Failed to initialize the USB storage Device" error on vWii

[ssouldier]

I've been modding my WiiU for almost month now and everything has been working accordingly despite some mishaps but now all of a sudden my USBloader GX 3.0 r1281 is telling me that it can't read my USB for some reason. It doesn't load any of my Wii games nor does it allow me to install any of my disk games either. I've looked all over the internet and it is basically telling me the basic steps such as formatting the USB to FAT32 and making sure my cIOS is correct but none of that works since I know I had everything correct when I setup vWii initially. The last thing I did before this error start occurring to me was I was setting up Wiistation so i'm curious if has something to do with the files being messed up when I did or if its something with my Hardware messing up (I am using a Sandisk 64GB flash drive) even though it was working before.

I was getting the same exact thing on my vWii. After messing around I went into settings (within USB Loader GX) clicked on Hard Drive Settings and under SD Card Mode I selected ON...then it went back to normal for me. Hope that helps you.

This guy is asking how to get his hard drive recognized on vWii. He may not have any games stored on his SD and if he does, there might not be the games that he'd want to play on there
