What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. I have download the package and run it once. It opens as expected. I exit the application

  1. I have plug my USB external drive already formatted under WBFS
  2. OSX says that the drive is not readable by this computer and propose either to initialize the drive, ignore or eject. I have tried Ignore and Eject open but the unsuccessfully. Inititialize will reformat the drive so I did not go further on that path.
  3. I launched QWBFS.
  4. The external drive or the WBFS partition on the external drive remains invisible. The Only File systems I am seeing are my local OSX drive and network mounted drives. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I did not see the WBFS partition drive (and as it is Mac and not windows, there is no "letter" to select. So I was expecting to see the partition listed as my other network drives. Should I manually mount the external drive under OSX? How should I do that? What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I am using the version 1.1.0 under Mac OSX Snow Leopard Please provide any additional information below. I can help testing anything.

  1. In the box at the top of "WBFS View" select the correct drive (i.e. in my case /dev/disk2s1) and then
  2. click the "Load/reload" buttón (the one with a "i") in it on the right side of the selecting drive box

Hi,

villatororoldan tells you the good way to mount your wbfs partition. More generally, wbfs partition are not recognize natively by the OS, so you will never see a drive letter / mount point in the left file system view. Simply choose the correct partitition as villatororoldan is steping in the previous comments.

I have tried all choices in the drop down list /dev/disk0s1 /dev/disk0s2 /dev/disk2s1 /dev/disk2s2 But for each of them when clicking on the Load/reload button I have got the same message "Can't Open Partition". When the usb drive is not connected to my Mac, I only have the 2 disk0 partitions so it seems that disk2 is my wii drive. But still can not make it work. When connecting my wii drive OSX is telling that it does not recognize the drive. I understand that it is normal but it is asking if I should reinit, ignore or eject. I used eject. Is that correct? What else can I try? Thanks for your help.

You should use ignore instead of ejecting. What else you can try is ansuring you have disk mounting capabilities. You can try to start the application in super user mode to see if it help ? For my part i use an account having root capabilities.

Br,
