Just yesterday I unhid my vWii harddrive using USB toggle, now nothing recognises it and I can't get power to it. I'm hoping it's just the cable but is there anything I can do if not?

It's not a standard USB cable so I can't just check with another.
Just as a point of reference I had my WII U drive plugged in the front at the same time and the vWii drive has shown no signs of failing.

Hello,

Do not use a USB switch.

Simply plug in your external hard drive for vwii mode on the back of the Wii U.

And for the external hard drive mode wii U, plug it to the front of the Wii U.

Connecting the two external hard drives at the same time, may not work properly. Connect one hard drive at a time.

Just a tip:

I suggest you use a single external hard drive for your Wii, Gamecube and Wii U games on the Wii U format.

    @dj_skual, Seems like what K3N1 said is a piracy site.

    @dj_skual, It's okay. Just remember that for next time.
  • dj_skual @ dj_skual:
    sure
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Mentioning a site can be the same as posting a url I will say check if you have an adblocker related plug ins causing issues
  • dj_skual @ dj_skual:
    i desinstalled adblocker chrome plugins, restarted chrome, but same result... do you think that can be due to my vpn?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Some vpns do have AdBlock related software iirc but that's all I know
  • dj_skual @ dj_skual:
    my vpn is a personnal server and based on WireGuard. Not a commercial one. just pay 1.20€ for the server.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I'd say try finding a subreddit that may have a community that knows more
