troubles with a WBFS formated external hard drive

Ok, but it's only when the laptop recognizes the hard drive, if it doesnt it wont make the sound, even when i have it connected

 

The thing is that it only has one ISO, a skyward sword iso, i wanted to format it again so i could make a partition in NTFS format or FAT format and a different one in WBFS format.

 

Does anybody listen? WBFS is not a standard file system. No OS is gonna pop it into the correct spot anywhere, as it doesn't know what the hell is going on with that drive to begin with. If a proper WBFS manager isn't recognizing the drive, odds are, your drive is a corrupt mess, and it isn't going to recover. Get a new drive, do yourself a favor, and don't use a WBFS formatted drive. Run a Windows OS, or use Linux and run this through Wine if you can for adding your backups to the drive: Wii Backup Manager

It saves you a heap of trouble with a file system that's more problematic than it's worth with other solutions out there. You're really stuck in the past with a lot of your Wii knowledge. Welcome to the future. Things are easier here.

Back to your actual drive: if you can't get any WBFS manager to recognize it, and your computer can't even detect it properly to format it, it's dead. That high pitched sound should be a dead giveaway that your drive has suffered a pretty intense death.

 

Huh i have a different hard drive, which i made work with WBFS format, by making a partition with it instead of formating the whole thing, all i wanted was to see if i could fix the other drive that BTW fucking way arent cheap were i live are fucking expensive so i was even lucky to get two to start with, if it's dead ok, i get rid of it, if it isnt, i will try to recover it so my uncle can play exernal on his wii.


And i know it's a differnet format and all that crap, the only WBFS manager i can ever find is WBFS 3.0 or 4.0.
