[Tutorial] Partition USB STICK STORAGE, External HDD FOR WINDOWS

Nice one!

 

Can i ask, is this just for general partitioning, or does making it appear as "Local Disk" create any advantages?

Like i use Partition Magic to do all my partitioning. Is this just the same method?

And one last question, whats the difference between a Primary Partition and a Logical Partition, and does this make a difference when formatting to WBFS?

 

ahhhh, that might be my problem then as to why my WBFS partition which is labelled as Logical, lets me add ISO's on my PC, but wont show up on the Wii and vice versa.

Ill have to give that a go tomorrow. Thanks mate

 

Ah, the Hitachi Microdrive "filter" driver. More complicated than the solution I posted in this thread (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=147277&st=0&gopid=1901502), but more effective, of course. I'd try the BootIt solution, then try using this driver if that doesn't work.

Thanks for the writing a tutorial on this! I neglected to mention it in my post because writing how to use that driver would take a bit of text and screenshots, haha.

 

So, what is the advantage ?

 

being able to partitioning any USB stick withot "Magic Partition" on Windows, and it works good, but I don't see the point of having less space on my 8GB stick (now that I've done it)...!!!

 

hey guys, is there any way i can shrink in size my wbfs partition using Windows or something?

i realized that it's much more than i need for Wii games

 

Well this is not entirely true for all of us, well actually not for me at least..!!

 

But if I use the stick storage in another pc it will not access my ntfs partition. It will just ask me to format
