Hello everyone, (I hope this is the right topic) so I have pretty much the same problem.

So it's a friend's wii (so I'm not the one who hacked it) and from one day to the next the console won't read the HDD anymore.

So it's on version 4.3E, wiiflow 249, cIOS38-rev14, there's also pimp my wii, bootmii and wad.


So I don't see the problem, because at first I thought her kids had done a console update, but she tells me no, then I thought it was the HDD so I transferred all the games to another HDD but same issue there too.
What should I do, should I re-hack it again or does the problem come from elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for your insight and especially your answers

lol thanks, I love the "get to work" because I was dreading it :93:


Um also sorry for being annoying....um for being a pain like that

AND the ultimate question, do I have to uninstall everything (and how do I do that, especially for the hack since, I think it's the trucha exploit that it has) or can I just erase what's at the root of the HDD and start fresh and do the installs directly on top

Ps: Well I had written some nonsense so I erased it but do I need to keep the same HBC or do I need to update that too.

yes the HBC works, I can access it so it's wiiflow and there when I click start nothing happens, the HDD stops spinning, thanks for the link



Ps: you told me about wiiflow 426, whereas I found here wiiflow r428,

I know I'm annoying but sorry


Well I think I'm going to reinstall everything even the HBC so my question is whether I need to uninstall something or can I just install over the old setup

Well thanks already for your answers, but it's with wiiflow that I'm stuck, because I find where to download it, at least here, since I found it elsewhere too (since apparently google is our friend), but the thing is I don't know which one to take...

Because I read that some are unstable. And also I looked for a tutorial for now but couldn't find one either (yet I searched on your forum)...

Thanks for everything

Well sorry for taking so long to answer but thanks a lot for the information and the patience you've shown...

Sure I'd have one more little question, but it'd be more the right topic since it's about wiiflow which I installed via an sd card and now I put everything on HDD and my problem is with wiiflow.ini to edit it because in the tutorial it says:

data_on_usb=(no or yes)

and for me on my ini file it says:

data_on_usb=no
dir_box_covers=sd:/wiiflow/boxcovers

what to change to write exactly what..(I just took the example for the 1st line of the tutorial, since you must know it by heart, and only put the part matching my ini file)

And a thousand apologies for continuing to post here, even if my post differs from the topic, but you have too many topics :oops: and I get lost in them :oops:

Well thanks anyway for all your info, so I manage to read my games on the hard drive but I still have to go through the sd card to launch wiiflow...

It's not a big deal but I admit I would have liked to not need my sd card anymore and have everything start on my HDD, I must have missed a step somewhere.

But thanks again for your answers it's really nice of you to spend your time answering a noob like me :lol:


PS: when I launch a game it gives me an error message "Enable emu after reload failed" but I just need to go back to the game and it's fine

Well the problem is, I already deleted wiiflow on my sd card but my HBC is empty so I don't see how to do it


But I had still copied to the root of my HDD all the files I had on my SD, so on my HDD I have bootmii, a file 00000001,import,private etc....

Well I don't know if it's the heat but it's giving me a headache, so I'm giving up for today but thanks again

When you're in the HBC, press the wiimote's button 1 and choose usb.
