I've downloaded the program and everything appears to be great, however the user obviously isn't smart enough to figure out how to copy 1 hard drive to another. Any helpful hints or user guides that you're aware of?

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I'm using 3.0. I have the 64 bit version running on one machine and 32 bit on another.

In 3.0 to copy from drive to drive or clone the whole drive is straightforward.

Load up your drive filled with games in the top window as you would to add games...then down at the bottom left you will see an 'expand' button that opens a lower window. Load your second WBFS drive here (it helps to know your drive letters) and then you can either select games to copy drive to drive or simply press the clone button to copy all games onto your new drive.

I hope this is what you were after.

yes, I think I found the right answer. It turns out the hard drive I was trying to copy to was bad. I just bought it, and nothing would work. I hooked up the second one I purchased and it's transferring now. Hopefully it works out.

Much appreciated.

I must be doing something wrong. I've tried this twice. I've partitioned the drive just as the other drive is set up and copies the windows recognized files to the same partition on the new one. I then went through the clone feature as described above. Once everything was done I attempted to use it on my wii. However, it said the drive wasn't formatted. I formatted it on the wii, and the drive was blank almost immediately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
