Hacking How to use a 4TB disk with USB loaders?

[element6]

so it crashes only with NTFS?
It's interesting to see FAT32+WBFS is working fine.
I don't remember is users tested FAT32+FAT32.
Thanks for that info.

If the first GPT partition is NTFS does it work ?
Maybe the issue is the NTFS library, not the loader (I could update the library if there's a new version to support gpt)

I posted my results with FAT32/NTFS and FAT32/FAT32 in my long response in the USBLGX thread. Both cause a crash (see post for details). I'll try a bunch of different dual partition combinations tomorrow and post in the USBLGX thread. It's very likely to be the NTFS library as seemingly every hard crash or DSI Exception I've encountered has occurred when one of the partitions is NTFS.

Thank you!!

Nintendont does not refuse your disk because of GPT but the lack of FAT32.
On my disk, nintendont works like a charm with GPT and FAT32 partition (2TB maximum unfortunatelly).
Even USB Loader GX works great! But my disk is only 50% formated...
In GPT mode, when I add another 2TB partition (NTFS this time) to the existing 2TB FAT32 partition, ULGX does not start anymore...

Is there anyone who already successfully used a disk strictly bigger than 2TB for play GC and Wii backups?

I 'll try to explain to you how to make the USBLoader GX recognize your hard disk. first, format the hard drive creating a single partition NTFS (GPT option), then create a folder called wbfs in HD root (it is important to have a single partition). copy the nintendo wii games into this folder. run the loader and see if the games appear in the list. from what I read about it, the USBLoader GX does not recognize HD in GPT option if it contains more than one partition, so you need to delete any secret partition on HD. I believe it is not possible to use GPT option for Nintendo Wii and Gamecube (ntfs and fat32), sorry.
I have an 5TB and, following these steps, I got the loader recognize my HD, but it does not find any game in the folder. if I format the drive using the MBR option, the loader works, but the maximum partition is 2GB

v1nce and pepobr, please see the bottom of my post here for help on creating a continuous FAT32 partition larger than 2TB with MBR: http://gbatemp.net/threads/usb-loader-gx.149922/page-1109#post-6429740

If you are using a different manufacturer than WD or Seagate for your external drive please let me know so I can add the name of the configuration utility for that vendor to the list, which could help others in the future.
