Hacking Planning to buy HD

[ZeroTm]

Hello Tempers,

I want to buy this HDD for my wii http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=32176&am...mp;promoid=1081 and I´m not sure if this one is compatible with my wii. I´ve looked it up on the compatiblity list but I did only find another models.

Help would be appreciated.

This hard drive is perfect for USB loader and stuff and I would highly recommend it because it is small, powers from USB and is easy to find in retail stores. I have the Western Digital MyPassport Eliet (500 GB) and i just LOVE it. I would also Recommend partioning it with a partitioning program like "Partition Wizard".

Thanks for your fast and helpful reply. Will probably buy this one.

I have to recommend Western Digital Elements... 1TB for about $110USD! Works great for all my usb loader stuff and homebrew. I got mine online walmart.com

I personally own the 400 GB discontinued model of this drive. It works wonders. Go for it. You will not be disappointed.

you can get a name brand almost 3x that size for cheaper

Ok my hard drive arrived but now I got another problem.

When I plug it into the wii it doesn´t get recognized, so I tried to change the format to WBFS, which doesn´t work either. It seems like WBFS manager 3.0 can't see it either. Please help

make sure you plug it in the correct usb on your wii

QUOTEIt seems like WBFS manager 3.0 can't see it either. Please help

maybe try to run it from admin thats what i have to do with Inteligent WBFS v6

Ok running WBFS as admin worked but the wii still doesn't recognize the HDD. Tried both usb slots.

Specifically what app(s) don't recognize the drive? You do have a USB loader of some sort with the requisite cIOS, right?

 

[ZeroTm]

I´m using USB loader gx no idea which version I think it was something like rev57. I am now trying to install Hermes cIOS 222/223 and rev14 stuff.

Edit: Nope still nothing.

Ok everythings working now forget to install a cios thing...

please close the thread
