Hello,

I tried to backup my hdd using windows pc but the drive appear as ext4 format so I figured it's linux partition and could not be handled by windows so I unplug the external hdd from windows pc and put it back to the Wii U but it never work again as usual.

I could see the drive in wii u but it seems corrupted by windows and need to be formatted again and lose all game data inside, It's not so hard to download all games and enjoy all the progress again but I would prefer to fix it to run as it was if that's possible.

Is there a program to fix it?
Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.
