You've read the readme, correct?

The drive has to be formatted to FAT, not FAT32 or NTFS.

 

[canuckcub]

No i didnt, that would be my probably its NTFS have to reformat


EDIT : nope.... who uses FAT anymore *sigh*

 

[canuckcub]

what is the "letter" of your external drive on your computer?

let's say it's X

you'll click Start > Run
type CMD and press Enter

now, you'll type this in that black box that popped up.

format X:\ /FS:fat /V:wads

only change X to whatever your drive "letter" is

 

[canuckcub]

invalid drive specifications it keeps saying




EDIT

used Format X: /FS:fat

that worked

 

[teq]

A lot of devices use FAT, actually.


I wouldn't format within Windows. Get a low-level formatting tool...

wadmanager is great, unfortunatly the wiis usb is not, usb is SLOOOOW. Like 20-40 minutes to install 1 wad slow. I reccomend giving it a pass.

only USB 1.0 .... i guess ? just finished formating ... if its that slow im not even going to atempt
