Hardware HDD Not showing up

[Xexyz]

The Problem

My wii used to work with USB (uloader, wiimc, mcplayer ce.)
Now it doesn't read it. I think it is the IOS58. After I installed IOS58 I have never used the HDD until now. It wont show up anywhere!
My hard drive is the WD Passport Essential 500GB (NTFS).

Try rehacking it? I dunno; sometimes stuff just breaks down. And on a side note, do you have to have your HDD formatted to NTFS? I think you've got a higher chance of a successful reading attempt if it's formatted to fat32. I know this's a bit hard, so just try rehacking it first...

But I have 430GB of data on T-T.

I know... try rehacking it and see if that works... or at least delete IOS58 from your card... plug it into the computer and delete it.

I'm going to reinstall IOS58 if that helps.

I have IOS58 6175. Should I update to 6176?

Yes.

 

[Xexyz]

Yes.

Do I remove it first or just install over it?

Install over it; just removing something could brick your Wii *shudders*

Install with IOS36 or IOS249?

Install with IOS36 or IOS249?

Install on an unused block. If 249 is empty, sure. You don't install with them; you install on them...

You know in WAD manager you choose which IOS to use.

Yeah; I think you can install it on 249/250. I know I don't use it for anything. So I installed it on an IOS I didn't use...

trying it out now

 

[Xexyz]

It doesn't work!

 

[calmwaters]

No!!!!! Just stick your SD card into your computer and delete it then. If the reinstallment didn't work, then just delete it since it didn't solve your problem.

It shows up in CFG loader but it's REALLY slow.

Well at least it's working. Maybe it'll go faster if you load it into another loader. Or be patient. Once it finishes, then you can try your games to see if they'll play. That's all that really matters.
