Hum... With my program you can mount a WBFS partition but an already formatted partition... that's all for now...

For create a partition and format it, use another WBFS program or homebrew

, but not partition magic and other...

I think's it work in windows seven with the compatibility option (A friend try for me and it works)!

Tried it and it installed, but I Windows can't see the drive, even rebooted and still can't see it.

It see there is a raw drive mounted with the letter K, but when I click on drive K, windows asks me if I want to format it (which I don't because there are about 100 games on there).

Nice application, but I have 2 suggestions.
First, it would be good if you could make it as an "invisible" program, instead of appearing as a command prompt.
Second, could you make it so that it replaces the WBFS drive instead of creating a new one?
Keep up the good work.

Run OK on Vista 32 bits.

Is it normal that my windows does recognize my USB HDD as...

1) No valid format and want to format it G:
2) Valid WBFS and explore available as W:

Also, WBFS Manager allow me to viex my G drive but not my W drive cause it said it's actually running in another programm.

So, one HDD is recognize as 2 drive ?

THX.

Dont work for me. Have XP 32bit service pack 3. My hdd letter is "H", so what should I type into the ini?
Just change the Drive letter in the INI file...
in your case it should look like this:

[MAIN]
GAMEPath=H:\WiiGame

(Note: It also seems to work if I ommit the "WiiGame" folder as well... so not sure what it looks for exactly)

This also appears to make a 2nd drive letter (W:), so for those of us with several drives (like me) make sure W: is free...
I'm not sure if the app is hard-coded to W: or not (and haven't tested otherwise), but just a precaution.

I keep getting:

Cannot read partition table (error 21).
Cannot read partition table (error 21).
Cannot read partition table (error 21).
Cannot read partition table (error 21).
Cannot read partition table (error 21).
Disque Reconnu: WBFS @ PhysicalDrive1Partition0
Discue Virtuel: OK

Then I get a message Disk W is running low on space

In "My Computer" I see three drives. My fat32 drive, WBFS drive (assigned N), and this mysterious W drive. The fat32 drive works no problem. The WBFS drive still give the option to format, and the "W" drive says it as big as the unused portion of the WBFS drive and is full and formatted to DOKAN.

I have pointed the .ini file to both my fat32 and WBFS drive and have tried both with and without the "WiiGame" folder.

from what i understand you cannot resize a WBFS partition as no windows program can do it. this program simply is like WBFS manager but integrated to the windows explorer interface so that you can navigate the drive without windows asking you if you want to format that partition when it is selected (it looks like you can also add/delete games to it, cool!)
