last week i started trying to get my wii to use the usb loader. i have the usb loader working now but i never did fix my problem with bootmii.

here's what i've done:
i started with the bannerbomb hackmii installer. i got the homebrew channel working. but on the installer for bootmii i wasn't sure what to do so i just went down the list and installed all the options. not smart i know. whenever i tried to load the bootmii from the homebrew channel it would just load to a black screen. after that i stopped worrying about that part and moved onto the usb loader. i followed this guide: http://www.wiihacks.com/other-faq-guides-t...os-any-wii.html and got the usb loader working.

now when i goto the homebrew channel, press the home button, then tell it to load bootmii and it freezes on a black screen. i'm wondering what i need to do to fix bootmii. the install info on their site says to run the installer from the homebrew channel, but i don't understand how to do that.

If your DVD slot light blinks while the screen is black/frozen then it's either there's no bootmii/ dir on your SD card (with the required files in it) or, if the dir & files ARE there, your SD card is incompatible.

i'm pretty sure i deleted the bootmii folder on my sd card somewhere along the line of me messing with it. last time i had my sd card plugged into my computer i only had an apps folder and wad folder on it.

so do i need to run the bannerbomb to run the installer for it again? and will running the installer override anything that i've already done?
