TIv been trying to get backup loaders to work for me for a while the only way I seem to be able to get them to work 100% of the time is to use a cheep 4gb flashdrive I have but I have a 16gb that works sometimes and then doesn't more than it does and just recently went and got a 1tb external which hasn't seemed to work with any loader (even dios mios that the 16gb works with everytime) I think it might be the power I just ordered a y cable for it that will be here midweek or so and would like to know if anyone else has had these kind of issues, all drives are fat32 the tb is from toshiba the 16gb is from lexar(don't know specifics) and the 4gb is some cheap free one from my old high school the tb works fine with emulators on the wii if that helps any
