    I turned on my Wii, only to be met with an error message, telling me to turn off the power, eject the disc, and look at the operations manual. I knew this would happen one day, but now that it actually has, I'm a bit depressed. I'm currently downloading USBLoader, but before I do, I gotta know if it will support my new portable USB hard drive, or if it's only limited to flash drives.

    It did that to me before. All I did was turn off the power and restart the wii(hold
    the power button for 5 seconds while it's on). And it worked again.

    I don't think you understand what I mean. I enter Gecko and it will say "No DVD Found" This isn't just a freezing problem. I mostly just need to know if my external USB hard drive will work for Configurable SD Loader.

    I agree with you. Riivolution is the best,but this isn't the topic to discuss your
    opinion about Riivolution.

    agreed. save the Riivo vs Gecko stuff for the discussion & chatter thread, even if Riivo is better (although I make hax for both). anyhow, it's not just Gecko that doesn't read the disc. It's the Wii. I'm not buying another Wii when a new system is just around the corner, so I must use Configurable USB Loader.

    I'd rather not open my system. It's quite old.

    Like I said, I'm learning how to set up Configurable USB Loader. I finished installing all the necessary cIOS's, and it's starting up okay, so for the most part, I figured out what I was supposed to do.

    Indeed,but I'm pretty sure Gamecubes can't play wii games. >_>

    No, but USB Loader doesn't play GCN games, so that's why he uses a GameCube.
