So i've spent the last 6 days installing 5 extra games to my WII U external HDD (very very slow process!) and i've made a massive BOO BOO. Firstly, It started updating to 5.5.2U.
Secondly ive lost all games on my external HDD and the external HDD is not being recognised despite it having the light on and clearly powering up.
Basically, I am getting rid of the console and I wanted to erase all game saves. I've gone into settings and then "delete all content and settings". I assumed this wasn't a factory reset, as most hardware actually says its a factory reset. Better still, I also assumed this WOULDN'T erase anything off the external hard drive or internal SD card.
Internal SD card seems OK.
But the external HDD is not showing my games anymore nor is it showing in the data management.
What has happened?
what did i do?
How do i solve it?
If i go to the loadiine site, in the drop down it only gives me loads of options for 5.5.2. Not showing as it did before. If i choose the top one it freezes every time.
PLEASE don't tell me I need to spend a month installing all 55 games again ARGHGHGHGHGHG.
