As of now, this is not possible.
If you want to connect a hard drive to the Wii U OS, the Wii U requires that it owns the entire hard drive. This means formatting the entire drive in Nintendo's own proprietary file system. Attempting to partition the device later on will lead the Wii U to think the drive is corrupted, and it will re-format the device again, removing any partitions you created.
The only way to fix this is by CFW, but the redNAND tools need to be polished a little, first.

So what you're saying is there's hope for this in the future? Every time I've seen this question asked it seems to be a definitive "No, it's not possible". I've been holding off getting an external until partitioning becomes feasible.

Yeah, with CFW we can modify the system to accept partitioned drives, or even accept FAT32 or NTFS file systems as input.
All in due time, my friend.

Are you absolutely certain you know what you are talking about?
You are aware that NTFS is a proprietary format by microsoft and support for it is likely never going to happen right?
Since USBloaderGX, amongst others, already supports it on the Wii/vWii side of things - maybe the guy was just talking about that partition??

But how does that any sense when Linux has so many issues supporting ntfs and mac just... doesn't do it.Since USBloaderGX, amongst others, already supports it on the Wii/vWii side of things - maybe the guy was just talking about that partition??

NTFS has more features than just "file copy/delete/rename" (like streams, rights, and sparse files).
on Wii and homebrew in general, that's enough for what you need (launching games or videos etc.)
we don't need a full support, just what's required for the homebrew.

I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator. -

I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.

He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
