I can't play any GC games when I put them on my HDD because I keep getting the

I'm having the same problem with r271.  I've verified my IOS 58 is correct, my 
hard drive is FAT32 (specifically FAT32 LBA 0xC) with 32k clusters.  I had 
previously been using DIOS MIOS Lite (DML) 2.3 running DiscEx formatted 
GameCube games from my SD card fine.  I used Gamecube ISO Tool 1.0.1 Build 5 to 
create the DiscEx files from raw GCM files.  I started this from USB Loader GX 
but when that didn't work, I've been now exclusively loading nintendon-t from 
the Homebrew Channel 1.1.2.

Slightly unrelated, but potentially useful.  I changed my cMIOS from DML 2.3 to 
DM 2.11 and have attempted using that to load my DiscEx formatted GameCube 
games with even less success.  The screen goes black without a DIOS MIOS 
screen.  This makes me suspicious but I am still trying out different things.

First, a correction, or perhaps clarification.  My drive had a partition type 
of 0x0C (or 0Ch, whichever nomenclature you prefer).  I've spent a good time 
trying to figure out the difference between FAT32 and FAT32X, between CHS 
(Cylinder-head-sector) and LBA (Logical block addressing).  I haven't learned 
as much as I'd liked but via trial and error I have resolved "my" error 13 by 
changing the partition type on my hard drive from FAT32X (0x0C) to FAT32 
(0x0B).  I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition 8.1 to do this 
without needing to reformat the whole drive.

As for the 5 W's?  Heck if I even know how I resolved the issue other than 
brute force trial and error.  I can't even remember how I formatted the drive 
the first time around.  I believe I used the Windows 7 format from the command 
line with the arguments "/FS:FAT32 /A:32K".  I'd love to do a trial and error 
on a large drive to see if this holds true that Windows secretly uses the 
FAT32X partition type without my knowledge.  Regardless I can see how this 
might be a problem as I've learned "FAT32x volumes store their FAT tables at 
the end of the volume rather than the beginning." 
(http://progettista.ru/0735711585_ch15lev1sec2.shtml)  I could see how that 
might give pause to a piece of software that concerns itself with the FAT table.

Regardless, my issue is resolved, hopefully this information proves useful to 
someone else.  I'll be doing a slightly more complete write-up for my Tumblr 
soon (http://radiok19.tumblr.com/)
