[DSTTSTINKYCARD]

hi
i have a maxtor usb ext hard drive working perfect with v 50 configurable usb loader
i wanted to know if a ide to usb adaptor will work ok
i have 2 internal ide hard drives
1 maxtor 4d06h3 60gb and 1 maxtor diamondmax plus 9 120 gb hard drive
does anyone know if these hard drives are compatable or if the ide to usb is ok to use

i cant get any to work , but i dont know if it is the hard drive's ,or ide to usb ,or both
thanks

I've used one for a maxtor 150Gb sata drive and it worked a treat

here's the one I've got just a cheap one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-TO-IDE-SATA-S-SA...=item41490704e5

ive just re put all the files on the hard drive again and still cant get it to work
when i click on the cfg channel it just goes black and then after about 6 seconds the wii restarts

Did you make a primary partition and did you set it to active??? and does the forwarder channel forward to sd or usb??

hi mate
i just did the same as with my working (250gb iomega ext hard drive) (not maxtor as i put in my first post)
i conected both maxtor's 60gb and 120 gb to my computer
they were shown in windows as ntfs
i used guiformat to format them to fat
then put the ,apps,usb-loader,wbfs, folders onto the hard drive
i have a channel installed for cfg loader ,so no sd card in at all

its set to primary when i first conected it to windows
just checked in computer management -disc management and it wasnt set to active, but i have set it to active ,but still doesnt work
thats as much as i can tell you mate

cheers

just unpluged the hard drive out
and ran cfg without the hard drive, and it does the same thing ,just restarts the wii
so the wii's not seeing the hard drive at all

just though i could save some money not buying another ext hard drive
