I get the same problem with USB Loader GX and my Seagate FreeAgent Desk, GX says "waiting for your slow hard drive" and start counting but never recognizes my HDD. So I use a different USB Loader.

I could never get GX to work, cfg always works. In the end I gave up on GX.

My guess would be your drive. I'm using a Maxtor, and cfg and gx both worked fine 'out of the box'. Try another drive my friend. Sucks, but it is what it is. HTH's

I think that it is easier to switch USB Loader then go buy another drive, I use Configurable USB Loader and it loads every game flawlessly. WiiFlow is a nice loader too.

well, the reason i was saying that its probably his drive, is because he said that his flash drive worked fine, so... i wouldn't think that it is the software. but, i've been wrong before. once. just once. ;]~ lol

If you are booting USB Loader GX from a channel - try turning on your Wii first with the HDD turned off or unplugged, when you press "A" and the menu shows, plug in your HDD and wait for the HDD to boot (light turns on if there is one) then select your USB Loader channel. HDD should be recognized.

If you are booting USB Loader GX from homebrew channel - with your HDD unplugged, start your Wii, start homebrew channel, before selecting USB Loader GX from HBC, plug in you HDD and wait for it to boot (light turns on if there is one), then select USB Loader GX, HDD should be recognized.

If this process doesn't work then your HDD probably is not compatible, if you set it up correctly.

The thing is, USB Loader GX is not 100% compatible with my seagate, if I use this process then my HDD is recognized by USB Loader GX. I used to do this with all USB Loaders until cIOS38 rev14 was released. Now all USB Loaders (except USB Loader GX) recognize my HDD without using this process.

Configurable USB Loader - works
WiiFlow - works
CoverFloader - works
uLoader - works
USB Loader GX - does not work
