when you plug external into pc does it ask for a format? if it does DO NOT format it i need to know if its wbfs formatted

yes it asks to format hdd,, i didnt click format as i cant fit all games on my laptop,

ok cool, well you need a programme called wii back up manager, you download games from a link in your pms, when you have a game you plug your hdd into your lappy, load up wii back up manager, choose your hdd (eg drive G) transfer the game to that drive in wbfs format, then delete the game off your lappys drive C

ok, so i have d/loaded toy story , using utorrent, i now use backup manager to move game from pc to hdd, is that right m8

yes mate, do not format that hard drive, the reason it asks for a format is that windows cant read wbfs format but wii back up manager can

yes mate it should extract an iso or a wbfs file

nope, im doing something wrong.. when i click on the file to load to backup manager, it opens in utorrent,
#14 11 Nov 2012 @ 6:32
your clicking on the wrong file, you should have a big file you have just extracted, right click on the files and there should be one anywhere between 1-4.7gig thats the one you want
