    So I asked this a while ago on how to install wii games (torrented ISOS from wiiso.com) onto an external HDD but it failed, because my old computer didnt have enough space and many other issues.

    I have a brand new, extremely good custom built comp that runs very well, but that's besides the point

    I just wanna know how install via WBFS manager, wii ISOs onto the external drive that contains my current games (it came with games, my dad's friend modded it and it has 50 Games on it atm). Help?

    Get easeus paritition manager for futher ocasions, otherwise, open WBFS manager and select the letter that represents your EHDD for me it's F, then select browse, any wii iso you find select it and then click on add game.

    Uhhh, I think this'll work without you having to do anything risky like turning it into WBFS.

    umm it says
    Select the "Drive 1" tab.
    Click "Drive" menu, select your drive.
    Select the "Files" tab.
    Click "Add" and select "Files..". Select your ISOs, CISOs, RARs, .wbfs in the dialog.
    In the files list, tick all the items you want to transfer to the WBFS drive.
    Click "Transfer" and select "Drive 1".
    Done.

    So if I download my wii isos from wiiso.com or whatever, just do that and it's done? drive 1 being my HDD?

    Yeah add the game file to WBFS manager and transfer it and that's it. That's what I do anyways but I use Wii Backup Manager instead. Though it's no different from WBFS Manager.

    And I'm pretty sure I mentioned this before several times on this forum, but you just drag and drop the image from one side to the other.

    And don't mess with the partitions if you've got them set already. I made the mistake of trying to explain simple logic to an 8-year-old about how to set up dual partitions, one of them being a WBFS partition and the other being a general use NTFS volume, and well, that didn't turn out so hot...

    Ah I saw that before insane, and yeah it seems pretty easy, I'll try during the summer. Download -> transfer -> done

    Public torrents are risky, especially with Cispa coming. You might want to use Demonoid.
