Hacking not a single windows based wbfs gui detects my HDD. Only the dos one.

[darky2003]

Hey,

I really need some help here!
I want to use a windows based wbfs tool but not a single one detects my drive.
The drive has 2 partitions (500gb for wii wbfs formated and 250gb ntfs formated)

Now when i connect it to my pc i only get to see the ntfs one (should be normal)
and when using wbfs manager tools not a single one detects it.

The only program that works is the first one that came out (the dos one).

Any ideas???

I may have had a similar problem.
You should reformat your HDD (back-up everything first) and make sure you're WBFS Partition is the Primary partition.
Google that if you don't know how to do it.

That solved the problem for me.

Windows needs to "SEE" the drive so it should show up in my computer as unformatted but have a drive letter.

as Satangel said you have to make it a primary partition.

First try and format the WBFS partition to FAT then make sure its the Primary partition and then format to WBFS. Thats how I did it..

Not sure if you figured this out already or not, but I had a similar problem even with my drive properly formated with WFBS as the primary partition. I had to modify my Windows driver to make it see the second partition on my HD.
