That's basically it, I have been informed that I have to make a thread. My wii smashed into the floor and now the homebrew channel appears like it has no apps installed. I looked into the sd card and it doesn't have any apps folder. It has a AVF_INFO folder, a bootmii folder, a private folder and an installer log file. Before this, my wii already had installed many apps like usb loader and similar others. My hardrive also smashed and it appears to have erased all the data it previously had. I wasn't involved with the process of modding it so I can't tell you the method used or anything like that. Can somebody help me out? Thanks!

Connect the SD to your PC, then search in windows for cmd and press enter.
in the command prompt, type chkdsk x: but replace x with the letter for your drive.
then screenshot the output.

Looking to verify that no issues are found and that you have

If you have a different allocation unit size backup your data and reformat to FAT32 with the correct allocation unit size.

fossil cape
woven cave
#

good

#

so what do I do from here

#

is the hardrive still usable?

fossil cape
#

Windows doesn’t seem to want to try to repair it

#

You could try to find a third party program to repair it, or just reformat and start over

#

I don't mind formatting it

fossil cape
woven cave
#

the save files are stored in the wii right?

fossil cape
woven cave
#

How do I do that

#

but wait, before hopping into that

#

How do I format it? I cant find the drive in the file explorer

fossil cape
#

Okay search for disk management in windows

woven cave
#

I cant find it there

#

wait

#

there's something wrong

#

before the fall the hard drive made some noise like a spinning wheel or something

#

i suppose it is possible that the fall damaged the inside of the hard drive and now it doesn't work at all

woven cave
#
