Wii Menu : 3.0u
Wii Serial : LU523*****
USB Drive : 1TB Seagate "Free Agent Desk" external AC powered
Waninkoko USB Loader v1.5s (Brisma version)
Homebrew Channel Installed via Bannerbomb
cIOS36_rev10

Created a 500 GB primary partition using WinXP Disk Manager
Quick Formatted as FAT32
Used WBFS Manager 3.0 to format 500GB partition as WBFS
Copied a couple backed up .iso files to the WBFS partition.

Everything was working and was able to load/play two backed up games.

Now getting a "No WBFS partition found" when running USB loader.
If I press A to format, I get "No partitions found! (ret = -6)"

Unplug USB drive from Wii and plug back into PC.
WBFS Manger3.0 is able to see the backed up games on the drive though the Wii cannot.

Ive tried deleting the partition and re-creating with no type defined then formatting with WBFS - same result.

Questions:
Should I update the menu version?
Do I need to downgrade to an older cIOS before upgrading to a newer one?

I am going to try a different USB drive tomorrow.

I've tried a second portable 40GB USB drive and cannot get that to work either. I tried creating just one partition using the whole 40GB. Anybody have any ideas?
