Cannot format format drive to WBFS ?

[bilabonic]

Hi

Using WBFS manager 3.0 and have a partitioned hdd which i know want to format to wbfs.

It gives me an error though ?

Any ideas why

The drive is healthy but not active, i can not make it active either?

you don't need to format it in windows or anything like that, just create the partition and leave it was RAW - it will still assign a drive letter. then, let WBFS Manager format it

That's my problem WBFS manager will not format it to wbfs.

I created the partition with EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition.

It shows as a extended partition in green and is not active ?

It has a drive letter.

When i made the drive active it allowed me to format it BUT the other part of drive just became healthy (not active) so i can not read anything !!!!

PLUS i can not find a way now to copy a load of games i have in wbfs format on an ext drive which is in FAT 32 to my pc drive in wbfs format ???

Tried loads of programs but they all look for iso/ciso games/files or if cloning/copying look for a wbfs drive and the one i have is fat32 !!!

Wiibackup manager supports .wbfs files : )

I haven't used a drive with partition just used the whole drive.
Have you tried with FAT32 GUI Formatter after you made partition.
