usb wont load on homebrew

ok i had my wii modded by a friend, my 2 tb harddrive killed itself while playing some nintendo video games. made the files go into these wierd files and folders that didnt do anything. so i reformated into NTFS. usb loader works perfect, the problem now is that all the emulators wont read from usb. neither will homebrew channel (wont read apps). any suggestions. it worked fine before but im thinking now i am missing something to fix it. please help i dont feel complete without my wii running smoothly

Format the drive as FAT32 and don't use warez loaders.

thank u brother

works like a charm now, little bit slower but it is 2tb. Acronis was the only program i could find that didnt make only 356 gigs available out of 2tb if anyone needed the info
