Hardware Emulation USB FAT Device Could Not Be Opened?

[slider86]

You may have to format it

Using Command Prompt to do it using this guide https://recoverit.wondershare.com/h...fix-unallocated-external-hard-disk-drive.html

However I cannot delete the volume because I need to select one first and I don't know which and how to select a drive.

Where's what?

uh the USB FAT device? lol

Using Command Prompt but not sure how to select and fix the correct disk.

EDIT: It's listed as Unallocated.

 

[AncientBoi]

I'm no help. sorry

Not to my knowledge.

you say this ==>

The Wii U never detected the drive in the first place to format it, so I'm not sure how that's possible.

after @godreborn ask you a question (is it read by wii U?) and you say this ==>

Not to my knowledge.

You're not really sure what you're doing or saying,

as we tell you (all of us), format in FAT 32

Format is certainly FAT32. I was asked to do this because it wasn't being picked up on the vWii.

My drive is listed as Disk 1. I need help to select it so I can delete it so the PC will read it again.

When your PC can't read it formatting failed obviously, so format it again. Guiformat should see it even while beeing unallocated.

//EDIT: And if that fails, too, use a Y-Cable when connecting the disc to your PC, too.

lol, did you not listen to what they said?


Let alone what you quoted me as saying?

Tried that. Guiformat only lists my C drive, not the USB drive.

Yeah I have autism but the main problem is dyslexia so not great with directions. Responded to your last post.

Go into disk management, right click the drive, and select new simple volume.

Same @V10lator

Okay. When it says assign drive letter or path which of the three options do I pick? I'd assign it E but E is missing because the USB drive is E.

Letter.

Just take any free, it really doesn't matter.

 

[slider86]

Letter.

Thank you. Got it back. I'll have to redo everything but hopefully I can set the format correctly this time.

Check if Ustealth can detect the drive first. I think the drive got corrupted somehow.
