I know it's been a while, but I've only just got around to trying this... The thing is, my HDD that I use for the Wii is partitioned and works fine on the Wii, trying to plug it into the PC is another matter, so I left it alone.

Anyway, skip forward a few years and I decided to use my dodgy HDD. I managed to set this up on the fat 32 partition with a few test NTSC-U SNES games, after a few problems with black screens (NTSC on PAL console) I was able to alter the settings and boot the games.

I'm running chkdsk on the dodgy partition now.

Just wanted to thank you again Zorlon for all your hard work writing these guides, and helping out around here, it is really appreciated.
