Hey Masters of the Universe,
I just finished a Wii Mod and Homebrew install w/ Loader etc and all went perfectly thanks to you, my friends.
I wanted to do some file arranging (adding and deleting games) in the 320 Gig Passport HDD that holds my backup Wii games and I don't know how to open the contents of the HDD. The trouble is I paid someone to back-up all my games long ago, I don't know what file system he used. On the 1st Wii he modded for me, he used WBFS Manager and I'm easily able to access that HDD, but I tried to launch this HDD in WBFS, no luck (and yes, I chose the correct drive letter).
If it's useful, I'm doing this on a Win Vista PC, but I have a Win 7 too. When I plug in the HDD via USB it does recognize the drive, but I can't open the contents (not password protected). When I check "properties" all it says under file type is UDF and strangly shows just 614 Mb, all in use, this holds 320 GB as I said
Any help would so be appreciated, I'm near the finish line after months of trying..

Thanks, well that's ironic, it brags about UDF being this all-in-one accepts everything file format, and I can't open it! Still can't work this out, I've got lots of games I can load up in my Wii at will, but can't open the flippin HDD to see what's on it or to work with the files...

You are absolutely correct! Thank you, I tried to find it via WBFS and forgot to check the backup manager, very kind of you to reply to what was probably a no-brainer (I have one that doesn't work very well with computer programs which is worse than no brain at all (-;/

Recently, I have also face almost same kind of problems Where I plug in the HDD via USB it does recognize the drive which I insert. Thanks for discussing this topic in this thread.
