NOTE: This problem has been solved. There is no need to render further support. A special thank you to jeannotte and Lostbhoy for their continued support <3.
I modded my Wii back in 2014. Did a really nice job on it with Emulators and software. Have a 1TB hard drive, speedy SD card, and I played it for three years without a single issue. Then I moved in 2017, never touched the Wii again, and just set it back up today. USB LoaderGX recognizes the 400+ items on the SD card, but the hard drive content isn't recognized. I used WiiXplorer to confirm that the USB is not detected. Only the SD, Nand, and DVD appear as sources in that app. However, on Windows 10 the drive works perfectly. I even made an image of it with no problems at all. The drive works flawlessly.
Is there something obvious that I might be missing? I don't think it would be a Wii configuration or software issue on account that it was working right before I packed it up. I certainly haven't updated the bios or connected it to the internet. I wouldn't think it was a hard drive issue or USBLoaderGX issue because both are currently working. I tried connecting the USB drive to both USB ports on the back of the Wii, but it still didn't work. Any ideas on what I might try next to diagnose this issue?
