I recommend using this https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wii-u-usb-helper-a-small-eshop-for-windows.446565/
It downloads them in the format you need. Just put the downloaded folder into the install folder and youll be all good!

If you plug it into the wii u and it actually powers it fully, it should ask you to format it. If i doesnt try going into settings and go to the copy/move/format section and see if it detects it. If not you will need a Y cable to supply the rest of the power needed for the HDD

You have to format the hdd with the WiiU.

Sadly we need to use the wii u to install them to the hdd. I would definitely look into a Y cable just in case.
