As part of the softmod you should install cios's, these will be part of the pack.

The Wii runs each game on an ios, to run games from the hard drive / flash drive you need to run them on a custom ios (cios)

2 great makers of cios's are
Hermes - these are generally installed at 222,223 and 224
Waninkoko - usually installed at 249 and 250

Each cios has a revision
Hermes rev 4 or rev 5 (some loaders cannot use rev 5 as yet)
Waninkoko rev 14, 17, 18, 19, 20 (latest is generally better but earlier versions have advantages for some people)

each cios has a nintendo ios as the base to create the cios
38 used as standard for hermes rev4
37 merged with 38 - used by hermes rev4 to run USB instrument games
56 the new best option
57 runs a few difficult games that 56 does not run.

The best options at the moment (will probably be inc in new packs - older packs may have different versions)

222 Hermes rev 4 Base 38
223 Hermes rev 4 Base 37 merged with 38
224 Hermes rev 5 Base 56

249 Waninkoko rev 20 base 56
250 Waninkoko rev 20 base 57

Hope thats not too confusing!
