Hacking Paying 10$ for help with vWii harddrive issue!

[Kaydoe]

Uhhh.. But you didn't help me? I am in the EXACT same situation as when I started.

Paying 10$ to anyone willing to help out this newb!

I was willing to help you out. Therefore Im entitled to $10

I take paypal, or I can send you my bank details?

Also, some HDDs dont work with specific cIOS. Are you trying all three?

 

[Kaydoe]

Really? You're gonna try semantics? You know exactly what I meant by the first post when I said willing to help.
And if you dont know let me clarify: I meant someone that can actually help and is willing for some quick $.
Dont get me wrong I am greatful and all but you didn't really help me in anyway that helped further this solution then the things I already knew.

 

[cearp]

you will get help here without paying $10
i imagine @EmceeKerser is playing with you - even so, you need to be careful when you start waving big money like that around here.

 

[Kaydoe]

I dont mind paying the $ for actual help since it would be ALOT cheaper to pay someone 10$ for help than buy a new HDD for 200$ or more

just copy everything off and format it, bite the bullet

Problem is I dont have enough space xD haha the HFS+ partition alone is 900GB and i got like 350-360 gb free on my HDD so Yeah.. guess i'll have to buy a new hdd.

 

[EmceeKerser]

Haha, yeah i was joking.

But yeah, if youve tested other USBloaders and other cIOS, then the partition is most likely the problem.

Also a 500gb drive is like $50, a TB is like $90. You wouldnt need anymore than that, a TB is pushing it

You bastard... Haha nah I actually thought of buying a 2TB hdd and split it in 2 partitions, first for Wii U / Wii and second partition for PS3. Or am I just being stupid again?

 

[gamesquest1]

is the 900gb partition actually full? and is everything on there absolutely necessary

Youre being stupid again haha, I would recommend spending that money on 2 1TB drives, 1 external for vWii, and one for ps3 (mines an internal TB, but i gather youre gonna do an external)

It would be easier and cause far less problems

Also, a heads up for ps3. Alot of games do not work on external drives if we're talking about a softmodded ps3. So a 1TB drive would work far better, as you cant fit a 2TB drive into a ps3 slim.

 

[gamesquest1]

or just buy 1 new drive, move all the old stuff to the new one, format the old one properly, move it all back then format the new one, or format the new one as fat32 and move all the wii games to that, then use the old drive for the wiiU/PS3 or whatever

Hey guys! I recently softmodded my wii U on firmware 5.3.2E, everything went smoothly and
I have installed the neccessary cIOS etc.
The problem is when I try to access a game through WiiFlow or USB loaderGX I see all the games etc. but when I try and load one of the games my external harddrive shuts down.
Now let me also say that it's a 2TB seagate harddrive and it has 3 partitions. First is HFS+ for some important mac files I have, second is normal NTFS and the third partition is the one I created and formatted as WBFS.

As mentioned I can find the games and they load in wiiFlow but when I try and load the game the harddrive powers off like it was getting dismounted or something..

Is your hard drive powered only with wii u's usb port?

So my 2 options are same as when I started?.. Either buy a new HDD or format the shit..

Copy the data and format it as 1 fat32 drive if you are just using it with the wii. Also keep your money and buy yourself lunch
