Hardware Wii U doesnt recognize HDD

[Paiuand]

Hello,
So i have an old Seagate HDD which has 500GB Storage and i wanna use it for my Wii U, but it wont recognize it. I have even tried formatting it on my PC and i also have used a Y Cable buuut whenever i plug the HDD in, it just beeps.
Any advice is appreciated

beeps? as in it clicks?

 

[Paiuand]

No its like a beeep (then silence for a moment) beeep, that also happens when i plug it in to my PC but only rarely
EDIT: The hard started beeping a loooong time ago, when i had a Wii it started

Bumping threads are breaking gbatemp's rules. Especially if the last post was 30 minutes ago.

Have you tried both the front and back usb ports?

This HDD only has one port, but i found out that if a use a USB hud the HDD wont beep.
Sorry for the bumping

If you want help then stop triple posting and bumping your thread repeatedly. It's only going to make people less willing to help you out, which is the opposite of what you want.
