I think that's the problem. This problem seems to affect small drives.

 

[Gamesmaster_OG]

hmmm thats strange, so can you tell me how to install the USBHide on my wii u and let me see if that works?

 

[godreborn]

I don't know. I've never used it.

 

[Gamesmaster_OG]

Oh ok

 

[Gamesmaster_OG]

[Gamesmaster_OG]

Nevermind i just found the answer

Drive fixed using HxD hex editor, thank you Godreborn

Drive fixed using HxD hex editor, thank you Godreborn

so it worked on the system with just the last byte of sector 0 changed?

 

[Gamesmaster_OG]

Yes it did

 

[shashthehash]

Yes it did

can u help me because im confused on how to even start to use that

 

[shashthehash]

unhide the drive, then open the drive in a hex editor, allow write privileges, and change 55 AA to 55 AB. it will then be hidden. it's at the bottom of sector 0.

how do you enable write privileges?

 

[godreborn]

how do you enable write privileges?

There's a checkbox in the logical and physical drive window.

I havnt touched wiiu hacking in years but i remember this was very useful and necessary. But i have some questions...

1. Can this allow me to use a larger 2+ TB Self-powered HDD?
2. Can i partition it so it has for example 2TB for wii u games, then 2TB for vWII. And I'm assuming homebrew, emulators, rooms can be on one of them as well?
3. Is this still the best option even with the release of Aroma and Tiramisu? If not, can you point me in the right direction for getting a self-powered 3.5" HDD working that is larger than 2TB for wiiu/wii and emulators/roms stored.

Thanks in advanced!

Hopefully you haven't reformatted it in haste if you had anything important on it. The way U-Stealth works is... well, you probably don't care right now. But if you used it correctly, it's reversible with the same application that you used on the drive in the first place. Unless, of course, you formatted it because you thought it was corrupted.

View attachment 5663 You cannot make changes to an unknown boot sector type!

I'm getting this error. I think its because my drive is more than 2TB and formatted to GTP. The drive that I have is a Seagate 4TB Backup plus Desk Top Drive.

Can you please see what I can do to make this work.

Thanks

I'm having the same problem is there any solution?

Cyan, what do you mean with an "etc" folder? I created a new folder in my HDD titled "etc", but my WiiU still asks me to format it. Isn't it as simple as creating a folder named "etc"? What am I missing? I only plug in 1 HDD in my WiiU at a time. I do, however, use a Y-kabel since the HDD doesn't have enough power otherwise, but I don't think that's the problem.

I'm wondering the same thing. I want to partition my hard drive into two formats, one for Wii U and one for vWii. Did you ever figure this out?
