How do I format a 4TB portable hard drive to work with a modded wii?
I have a LOT of WBFS files that I want to transfer to the 4TB hard drive, and then play on the modded wii.
Can you help me with a step by step?
Thank you, MUCH Appreciated!

I have a 4tb portable hd that I want to transfer wbfs files to -
do I need to create a wbfs folder on Both hard drives?
and then, I am guessing, put all the wbfs files in to the wbfs folder-- then transfer those files to the portable hd wbfs folder?

yup, after that it should transfer all of your games over, you have cIOS installed on your wii, right?

Make sure it's formatted as MBR and not GPT, larger drives like this often present challenges with doing this
