drive not detected by wiiflow on first start #46

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch wiiflow with forwarder
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect 1tb drive to load but instead it gives the error screen to make 
sure that the drive is plugged in to the correct usb port

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
wiiflow 1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
If i use another loader to detect the drive i can return to the wii menu 
and wiiflow works fine. If the drive sits idle for a period of time the 
process must be repeated

I have a similar drive (Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1TB, ST310005FDA2E1-RK) using
WiiflowR20_249.dol and it appears that the drive spins down (power-save)
automatically after a period of time. Once this occurs, WiiFlow is unable to 
detect
the drive. 

A similar application (NeoGamma) is actually able to spin the drive up and will
detect the drive properly, even after this self-powerdown.

Currently, the only known fix for the issue is to unplug the power from the 
drive and
re-connect it, which then allows WiiFlow to detect the drive.

It would be wonderful if WiiFlow could duplicate this feature. Thank you.

I will take a look on it.

Download the Seagate Manager Software from their site and change the sleep time 
from 
the default 15 min to 1 hour, 2 hours, or whatever you want.  It has nothing to 
do with 
WiiFlow since it will happen in USB Loader GX and CoverFloader as well....

That's a workable solution - however, NeoGamma is successfully able to 
re-awaken the
drive once it's entered a sleep state. I'm curious as to how this is done?
