Hardware Wii won't detect USB hard drive?

[limesherbert]

It's strange: HBC is not loading listing any apps from my hard drive (there is no SD card inserterd), if I try to select a file from my hard drive for mplayer to load, it tells me that the device is not mounted, and emulators wont detect that the hard drive is in there. However the WBFS partition works fine when using usbloader. Any ideas?

Becaus mayb your HBC doesnt support HDs?

or is your HD in FAT32 format

I have the latest HBC from Team Twiizers. My hard drive (WD Passport 250gb) is formatted to NTFS.

I suspect you made a mistake while partitioning the HDD causing the difficulties. Normally both partitions should be set to primary, with the Non-WBFS one being the first to see in the drive management.

That's exactly how it is

EDIT: Does the HDD have to be in FAT32 format?
EDIT 2: Yes it does. Used HP USB format disk tool to do the trick.
EDIT 3: Is there anyway to have one partion as WBFS and the other as FAT32?
EDIT 4: Use EaseUS
