Hacking Split a 2TB HDD

[zongalito]

Hello there, sorry if this is the wrong thread but i dont know where to start.
I have a 2 TB HDD, for my WiiU, i use it mostly to back up stuff, wii and gamecube games for vWii, movies etc, still i have 1.5 tb free, and i want to use 100 gb for my WiiU to store games from the eSHOP, but i dont know how do i split a format, so wiiU doesnt format the entire HDD, or the wrong partition.
please help

you cannot.

you cannot.

So should i buy a pendrive instead?

people have done a fair bit of research into altering the tables on the drive for this to work , but with no real major success . so if you only want a small amount of additional storage on your wiiu maybe thats the solution to freeing up your bigger drive.

Delete the HDDs partition and make a new one thats 100 gb then format it with the WiiU. After thats done just make another partition of your remaining memory. In theory that should work.

no it wont .. the wiiu wont allow it.

Theres no harm in trying since the WiiU would access only the partition it has made for itself. I did the same thing with my Wii, never had any problems.
