Hello. I've been playing Wii backups from an external hard drive for quite a while with no issues. Recently the WII stopped recognizing my external hard drive. When I connect my external hard drive to my desktop computer, I'm able to access the hard drive via Wii backup manager and see all of my backups on the drive. I formatted a usb stick and transferred one of my backups to the stick and it reads and works fine on my Wii. Any ideas or suggestions as to why my external hard drive would suddenly stop being recognized by my Wii and a newly formatted usb stick works fine?

Thank you for any and all suggestions to get my external hard drive working again with my Wii.

Can't promise results, but this is worth a shot...

Are you just using Windows Formatter? Try out (it will work with USB Sticks) SDFormatter. On more than one occasion, an SD Card/USB Stick of mine that wouldn't have it's' problems fixed with Windows Format would work perfectly after using SDFormatter.

Thank god I saw that gbatemp post from 2009 that pointed me to the program.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
