USB Hard Drive not recognized

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Unfortunately, TriiForce does not recognize my USB Hard Drive... This is
not a hardware issue since WiiXplorer, USBLoader GX, USBLoader CFG and
others support the same Hard Drive connected in the same port (port 0).

This only happens if the first partition of HD  not contains the copy of Nand, 
for
example, HD contains a WBFS and FAT partitions, and the first is WBFS.

You should check if the FAT/FAT32 partition is ACTIVATED, otherwise TriiForce 
and 
Wad-Manager v1.5 won't see it. (WiiXplorer and USBLoader GX will)

To activate the partition:
Start Windows
Right-click "My Computer"
Select "Manage my computer"
Select "Disk Management"
Select the FAT/FAT32 and right-click on in to select "Activate Partition"
Done.

It is not working for me.
CFGLoader - works fine
UNEEK - works fine
Triiforce - never works (Can't get title list or something like that)

Couldn't you check how CFGLoader boots the USB-HDD and why Triiforce isn't 
doing the same?

I have the same problem. This might be related to USB harddisks with slow 
spin-up times. Maybe if you made a loop inside 'getdircount' in 'isfs.c' that 
ran ISFS_ReadDir at least 10 times (and slept for 1 second in between) before 
throwing an error. I think some of the USB loaders loop like this up to 30 
times.

Blame cIOS for that, triiforce only uses the commands built in.

How can i blame cIOS if USB Loaders are working and my other drive is being 
recognized by Triiforce? I don't want to blame anyone, i want Triiforce to work.

Because backup loaders init the usb drives themselfs, we don't mount the usb 
drives the cios does that for us. I might take a look in the weekend, but i 
kinda stopped working on anything for the wii.

Is there some way in the code to make it use the second partition? Or is NAND 
emulation somehow technically impossible with another partition than the first?
