Hi I Have A 320GB simpletech external hard drive and for some reason now it takes forever to add games to it but in the end they dont even add and then i try wii backup manager and that one ends up freezing my computer so can anybody help me with my hard drive so i can play games from it

 

or try formating it again and starting again

 

sounds like your computer doesnt like the drive

 

i have tried a different computer diffrent usb port dnt have another usb like this one or a different hdd and it works fine as a ntfs and i transfer other files to the hard drive too

 

not a great way to do things....

but try converting the iso's to .wbfs (saving them on your pc), then try copying them to your harddrive

 

does it freeze when its converting, or when you're transfering games to the HD?

if its the first one, its a problem with your computer, if its the second one, its a problem with your hard drive.

 

i tried redownloading wii backup manager but i will try wii game manger i think i tried that too but would you guys/girls know why it would say cannot open drive no error when i tried formatting it with wintool

 

Have you tried formatting the drive connected to the Wii via Gx loader and installing a game from a disk all through the Wii ?? It should take about 4~6 mins for a full disk (4GB+) and about 40 seconds for say Super Mario (around 300mb)

 

k it just froze when i was adding the game i mean i can still move the hand around but it stopped adding it and the blue light is staying on on the wii
