Hello!
So... I just bought a generic enclosure for a 160 GB 3.5'' SATA HDD for my PC. It works just fine and decided to try it on my Wii.
However when I plugged it (-both the USB cable and the external power cable-) and turned it on, and then turned on the Wii, the Wii turned off by itself a second later. So I had to turn off the HDD and unplug/plug again the Wii (I have to do this every time if the HDD is on upon starting).
Now, if I turn ON the Wii with the HDD OFF, and then turn it ON when the Wii menu shows, it works just fine, and WiiFlow and CFG USB Loaders work just fine too (the games load and they work).
Just wondering, if something similar has happened to any of you and if there's a way to get around it... other than turn the HDD off and then On again everytime just when the Wii has started (I don't mind to do it, however perhaps my brother forgets to turn it off and then if I start the Wii that way I will have to unplug/plug it),
...and of course other than getting another enclosure LOL.
Thanks for your help and time.
