BAD MAGIC means you have set the wrong HDD/SD/WHATEVER letter OR YOU HAVE FORMATED YOUR HDD/SD WITH THE WII, you need to format with http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144475 or it won't work !

And refrain from talking shit about people taking a bit of their time to share their app, you should be warned for being such an ass.

I formatted the partition using the wii and the pc application can read it just fine

 

[shanefromoz]

Ok so your saying if i formatted using usb loader on the wii the wbfs gui will not work??
What do i have to format my portable hard drive with and will it be read using usb loader and on the pc using wbfs gui?

Cheers

Well, it's people using the Cygwin build that have problems. I know i had the same problem of "bad magic", it's just an incorrect partition, you need to format the drive in FAT/NTFS in Disk Management or whatever (i have VISTA so i don't know for XP), and then use init with the wbfswin, not the cygwin build.

Your drive needs a letter assigned before you can use it in this, if you drive doesn't have any, you need to format it again, as simple as that, and the wbfs cygwin build doesn't need a drive letter to work, but it's confusing people now.

I still might have to stick to Knoppix until I feel more secure about the whole drive letter thing. Kinda wish this can actually sniff out the wbfs partition from a drive, might make it safer.
Should be possible with

./wbfs add /dev/sdX

where X is your drive (maybe hdX on older computers). Didn't test it but on linux there is usually no differnece in getting data directly from the drive or from a ISO file.
EDIT: Sorry, read wrong. I thought you want to copy a backup disc directly from your computer to the WBFS partition because this is still fatser than the Wii and you don't have to dump the whole 4,3GB.

nice pctool works like a charm, now we just need a queue command

CODE

for %a in (*.iso) DO wbfs.exe add %a

This added all ISO files in my ISO folder to the partition (works with the cygwin WBFS tool).

What's your drive letter? Is windows detecting your drive? your drive must be detected as RAW in windows, if it's detected as UNALLOCATED, somethings wrong with your format, or your drive is maybe corrutped/damaged.

Anyway, if it's working in the cygwin build, you should use that.

And be sure you're running the application in administratr mode and without spaces anywhere in the directory containing the program.
