Did you delete all old config files?
Check your SD card for errors?
Load from HBC the 1st time and config Custom paths for Covers?

Did you plug in the HDD to the correct port?

Delete old configuration files off wii or hd?

Correct port? I think it was plugged into top one at the back...my wii lies flat

try using a different loader like Wiiflow or CFG if you receive the same problem with both of those then it's most likely your hdd or installed a compatibile cIOS like hermes. if they do recognize it then simply delete everything gx related and start fresh

If your Wii lies flat, put it on the bottom port.

Ok thanks for the info guys, will try that.
I didn't realise the ports were different.

Do I need any other files or just the usbloader gx files in the app folder?

it detects my external plugged into the bottom slot..thanks

problem i have now is that my drive is fat32...and the loader dont support fat32...only fat/ntfs/ex2 ect...

so i wondered if its possible to create a partition on my drive without losing the stuff i have on there?

thanks

 

[Bloodangel]

hmmmm.... actually my drive is ntfs...but usbloader gx says its not a supported format and asks me to format it to fat/ntfs/ex2 ect....

any help as to why it says its not ntfs but it is?

thanks
