I forgot to mention that I followed both these guides on my own Wii and they both worked perfectly first time.

After using the first Video, reset your Wii internet from Auto DNS settings back to your home network before starting 2nd video.

Also be aware some USB flash drives are better than others.

If you are having issues it is more than likely the flash drive that is the issue. No USB 3 or sandisk flash drives would work for me.

you should check out Wii Guide
my wii runs USB Loader GX just fine after following that guide. my hard drive is a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB.
