Hacking (ret = -1) error on drive confirmed to work

[MidLevel]

I'm using a Seagate FreeAgent Go 250gb HD, which is confirmed 6 times over to work with the USB Loader. I keep getting the error in the topic every time I try to use it. Is there something besides the drive itself that I could be doing wrong somewhere? I formatted it raw and then in WBST, and used the manager to put the iso's on the drive.

If it helps I am using Loader v1.5 and menu system v3.1U

Q: When I boot USB Loader, I get: Could not initialize USB subsystem! (ret = -1) ?
This means either your USB drive is corrupted or it is not supported. Please use another drive or doublecheck connections. Also, if you have something plugged in the other USB port, be sure to remove it. If all that doesn't work, try switching your USB port. Some people reported this working via hotswapping, but I do not support this method. Other people are reporting that plugging two errored USB's in at once makes one work.

If that doesn't work come again

Just tried all those options, none of them work.

The only other thing I know is to re-install the cIOS36r9/10
or use another usbloader (GX and coverflow are nice)
If that doesn't do it, someone else will have to solve it

I'll try those, if they don't work I'll just pretend the HD doesn't work since I just got it and take it back >_> And buy some DVDs instead.

Did you format the drive on your PC or on the Wii?

It's looking like I didn't have the proper CIos installed. Let me just get some games on it now that it recognized the HD.

Okay I'll just throw another question out there so if anyone is still looking I could use a little more help!

Basically: USB Loader doesn't recognize the games that I've put on it from WBFS manager. I can't see them but WBFS sees them. All I can do is rip discs.

As already asked - how did you format the drive?
