Wiimote becomes inactive during launch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I launch v. 1.2 from HBC.
2. Program begins initialising USB drive (I have some problems with the 
drive itself: it isn't always working properly, so somtimes I get "USB not 
found" message and ask to re-check for drive).
3. In the process of drive initialization Wiimote becomes inactive. All 
LEDs go off on the Wiimote and when you press any button they just blink in 
sequence, no other life signs. Pressing buttons on the console itself 
doesn't produce any response, too. This makes re-checking for USB drive 
impossible when CoverFloader asks for it in a pop-up message, since Wii has 
to be rebooted to regain control of the Wiimote. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In version 1.1, which I'm back to after this issue with 1.2, Wiimote just 
stays active and I can use the program in a normal way.

Hope this issue gets fixed, and thanks for the great work so far!

This is an issue for me as well, but might be more of a hard drive issue than 
an issue 
with coverfloader, but if it can be fixed on the software side of things all 
the better. If 
my hard drive (seagate freeagent desk 1tb) is connected to the wii at any time 
before 
coverfloader is launched, it somehow locks the hard drive out and coverfloader 
can't 
connect to it. I have to wait till coverfloader fails to see a hard drive, then 
plug in my 
hard drive, wait for it to spin up, and then hit 'retry' to have everything 
connect. 
Unfortunately, like valkorn reported, this is impossible with 1.2 because the 
wiimote 
disconnects from the wii (and can't be re-sync'd) while coverfloader is 
launching. I 
don't know what you guys can do, but i figured i'd give you a little more 
background 
information on the issue.

I have the same problem and I also have the Seagate Free Agent HDD (though only 
250GB).
