@cb8709 What's up man? Got a question or more. What program or how did you put the movies into your harddrive? I use the WBFS manager to put Wii games on my external harddrive but after that, My computer tells me that I have to format the harddrive to use it. I can only use the harddrive through WBFS but the WBFS is only use for putting in Wii games not movies.

@vietdude1979 I use a different hd for my movies

@vietdude1979 Dunno if anyone has helped you with this matter or not or if you have resolved it. but im pretty sure if you partition your drive it should work. iono tho i havnt tried but i dont see why it wouldn't. just partition like 100gigs or how much ever you want for your movies and what not *NOTE* extract your wii games first then reformat to ntsc then partition then reformat first partition to wbfs and leave the second half alone ***hope i helped, if not sorry :( ***

@metlmulisha No prob! But I have noticed HD videos are hard to render on the wii. But everything else plays fine!

Just for the record, does the wii recognize any External HD?

[cb8709]

@JohnXT7 It has to be modded

[JohnXT7]

@cb8709 Ok so any HD will do!! I'll just have to download some sofware, thnks!
