[RESOLVED] Multiple Partitions DD?

Post by **Elektra710** » Sun 10 Jul 2011 07:49

Hello everyone, I'm going to hack my wii soon which is on 4.3 with the Indiana Jones game to put games on a HDD.

I'm a total noob lol

And I'm looking through the site's forums for answers to my many questions ^^

Is it useful to put several partitions on the HDD?

Thanks =)♥

Thanks, but I looked and it says:

Only to be used if you really need to store files bigger than 4GB.

If the games are bigger than 4 GB do you need to do it then?

Sorry but this is really a new thing I don't understand much about ^^

you have the choice

FAT/NTFS/WBFS (I don't see the point)
FAT/WBFS (that's what I have)
FAT/FAT/WBFS (I don't see the point)
FAT/NTFS (that works too)
NTFS/WBFS (not tested)

You can also make a full wbfs partition and put your usb loader on your sd

You can also make a full fat 32 partition

I recommend a small Fat 32 partition and the rest in WBFS

Here's our configs:

- Oops: 1TB: 20GB FAT32 for future Uneek and triiforce use / 600GB in FAT32 for media / the rest in WBFS for games.

- mamule: 1TB: 15GB in FAT32 for the emulated nand / 970GB for games in WBFS.

- actarus1973: 500GB: 4 GB in FAT32 for the emulated nand, a few homebrews and covers / 496 GB for games in WBFS.

- kalidor: 1TB: 100 gb in FAT32 for the emulated nand / 900 GB for games in WBFS.

- corenting: 500 GB: 60 GB in NTFS for media / 440 GB in WBFS for games.

A+

small modification to my 1TB:
- FAT32/20GB for uneek/triiforce
- NTFS/600GB for media (divx + xbox iso (over 7GB)
- fat32/ the rest for wii games

the question you should ask yourself is why would I need several partitions!!??
First, one for games. personally I recommend fat32.
then the point of making partitions is just practical depending on what you need and to avoid fragmenting your hdd (not great for a loader)

For me fat32 of 4gb and the rest in wbfs (memup of 500 gb)
The 4 gb fat32 is for storing software such as Wiiflow, and others

for my media, I use a USB key in Fat 32

My config with a LaCie 1.5TB external hard drive

In order

1. FAT32 600GB for 360 JTAG and PS3 CFW 3.55 Kmeaw (optional divx and Wii backup / emulated nand not tested)
2. WBFS 400GB for Wii
3. NTFS 300GB for PC

Otherwise it's true it depends on what you need, personally I'm thinking of changing my config afterwards
1 external hard drive for my 360 JTAG
1 external hard drive for my PS3 CFW 3.55 Kmeaw
1 external hard drive for my Wii

Thank you very much for all your answers, that's really nice =)

I have a 500 gb HDD so I think I'll do like sniper3d.

So I'll do 4 gb in Fat32 and 496 gb in WBFS.

Thanks again =)
