WII Flow not working anymore?

Before I had had a 250 gb HDD. I had formatted the drive to WBSF. After learning that I could partion part of the drive, part for games, part for other stuff, I had transfered all my games to the computer, partioned the drive, half formatted to WBSF, half to exFAT. After transfering back the games to my HDD, I had tested the games on the WII, only to find that the games did not work on WII Flow anymore. WiiFolw will start, show all the games, but then when I chose "Play Game," the loader would get stuck on the "please wait" screen. The only way I could start my backups now are to start it from USB Loader. This means that the HDD is working fine, but the problem lies with WIIflow. I am VERY familliar with WII Flow and am surprised with the problem. Any help with this problem? Thanks...

hey,
did you follow gen3sf usbloading guide for that? (questions on that could go there)
and made the wbfs partition primary?
i like Fat32 loading (linked below) as i can have games and apps on the same drive without partioning, recongnized by almost all loaders, i use wiiflow and cfg usbloader.
do you still run wiiflow from sd card or from that newly created exFat part?

Yes I had made the wbfs the partition primary. Also I has "Installed" (correct term?) WiiFlow on my WII using WADS, but also include the wiiflow file on my sd card. Hope this is enough info for help, thanks for your response, been waiting all day haha...

hm yes, you install .wad's to your wii.
did you install the full channel or a forwarder? ya, you said you only changed something on your hdd..
you could of course try if reinstalling, having a new version of wiflow (look here and the wiiflow guide linked in my sig) helps.

ah to my first question, did you follow this USB loading guide?
maybe have a look at it again to see what you have left out.
I am sure the partition needs to be primary, not sure about setting it to active (read somewhere that it is not a requirement, but worth a shot)

Also if you run into trouble with wbfs partitions, good point to switch to Fat32 loading;)
