Hello! I had previously been using a 450gb hdd with Wbfs files for loading wii backups and isos for loading gc games through USB Loader GX. The drive was starting to get old so I have switched to a new hdd, specifically this one:
WD 1TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBUZG0010BBK-WESN.
I took the contents of my previous hdd and copied them onto the new hdd. Upon trying to boot up a wii game with USB Loader GX, it works. Upon trying to boot a gamecube game, it tells me that I need to set the file path to the primary folder on USB drive 1, or some such message. I fooled around with the custom paths, and have not found a way to fix it. However, booting the gamecube games up with Nintendont still works exactly as it should.
The HDD has been formatted as FAT 32 with a 32kb cluster size. As far as I can tell, there should not be any difference. I cannot find a hidden partition using computer management. However, the HDD is advertised as 1tb and the computer shows it as 931.41gb. This leads me to believe there might be one. I am under the impression that there may be a discrepancy in advertising due to the way humans measure hdd size vs the way computers do, but I still am not sure.
