    Is it partitioned in WBFS?

    Try looking here. - http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=35411

    Or just try this from the info thread.

    Yes it is. I also can't format it in WBFS OR Windows, and when I try to safely eject anything, Windows says a program is using it. I wish I could see what programs were using it so I could virus scan it >:|

    Try this program - http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
    It unlocks anything that is being used by another program. :)

    Try using Uloader on your Wii to format it to WBFS. That's what I do.

    It's already formatted to WBFS, but Unlocker isn't detecting anything.

    By the way, I'm using a Kingston Data traveler 102 that has worked in the past.

    Oh!

    Go to My Computer.

    Then Right-click on the flashdrive.
    Then go to unlocker.
    It will give you some options and go to unlock and hit OK.

    It'll be unlocked then.

    there aren't any options, it just says unlock then a little window pops up saying nothing is locking it, and theres a little drop down box with Delete, Move or rename.

    Hmm..

    I don't see why your computer isn't allowing you to eject it.
    I burn my games to a DVD and then dump them to my Wii Hard drive after that.

    virus? I heard there is a virus that inserts itself into any thumb drives connected to the computer and does that too...

    Maybe?

    Don't know.

    Probably not since Unlocker was picking anything up.

    Nothing is showing up in the window?

    It should show at least one if it's being used by a program.

    Try kill process option.

    there is no kill process option.
