I got a new hardisk "WD 2TB Elements". And I made two partitions:

-Partition F: FAT32, 32k, primary.
-Partition G: NTFS, primary.

But I can not mark my FAT32 partition as active to use it on my wii, any idea why this could happen?


Thanks,

Edit: Windows 7 partition manager show the option as greayed, same for Windows 10, same for Easeus... I don´t really know what is the preoblem.

 

After seeing these sorts of posts for the 5,000th time, I've been considering submitting a patch for Nintendont that causes it to only look at active partitions. It seems everyone wants this anti-feature so badly, so might as well implement it. :V

Also, the problem is most likely that the disk is partitioned using GPT. GPT doesn't have a concept of an "active" partition.

 

So there is not need for marking partitions as Active?

I have read this all around the Wii scene several times, I don´t know exactly which places, but several I guess, from Wiiflow pluggins (Nintendon't also) to Emunand things I would say.

If there is not need for marking it as active, much more easy, thanks both a lot.
