Previously hacked wii, no longer have USB hard drive, can't sync wiimotes

[Velvis70]

I have an old wii that had a USB hard drive connected. The hard drive failed and I moved on to the Wii I, so it's been some time since I fooled with it.

When I start it up it gives a USB device not initialized switching to channel list mode and it has an OK button.

No wiimotes are synced to it and I'm at a loss of how to do so.

How can I get this running again? (even to play legit wii disc's?)

Hold Reset while powering on and you should see the Priiloader menu, use the Power and Reset buttons to navigate it in order to boot the system menu. Once on the system menu you can sync WIimotes.

Thank you! Worked perfectly!
