just google and to know what mbr partition is ... there is gpt and mbr, nintendont needs mbr.
I don't know if guiformat even supports GPT. The standard (at least Windows' built in formatter does it this way AFAIK) is to use GPT only if the drive is larger than 2TB (or the drive is to be used as a UEFI boot drive), as that's the largest partition size MBR supports, to my knowledge.I did I can't find anything can you just tell me what it is please. I don't understand how to make an MBR partition.
Is your hard drive powered or are you using a y cable for power?
You mean plugs into the wii u (not wii)?I'm not sure what you're talking about but no it doesn't have an external power supply..it just plugs into the wii.

Anyway, if you're talking about Wii U then the hard drive must have extra power. If your hard drive came with a power supply that plugs into the wall then you're fine. If your hard drive is a single usb cable then you will always have issues with it disconnecting and not be detected in vWii. You must replace your single USB cable with a USB "y" cable.

That should fix your issues.
(This info is in all the good guides by the way)
