My wii fell on the floor and i can't play disks but wverything else works. So i have been trying to figure out to use usb loader and i got it all figured out but there is one thing

Is it possible to use the extended harddrive without formating it? it has 900gb of stuff on it. Allot of it is for school so i can't lose it.

Please let me know if it is possible.

It is possible to use a NTFS or FAT32 formatted drive without reformatting it. I know the configurable USB loader supports both those. I'm not sure which other loaders do.

You need to convert the iso files into .wbfs files and put them into folders in a folder named WBFS in the root directory of the drive.

Yes, the root is the main directory of the drive. So it would be (Drive letter:)/WBFS

And there is a program to convert .iso files to .wbfs available here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=1...0&#entry2489180
