Wii dual partition SD card WBFS partition for Homebrew
I have successfully done exactly what you have tried. I have 32GB Sandisk SDHC which I partitioned into two parts by using the modified
Windows 7 64x Hitachi Microdrive drivers.
Info on how to install them here.
The first part is 10GB FAT32 and I also formatted the second part into FAT32 (for starters).
Than I put some homebrew (like SDUSBLoader 1.5) into FAT32 partition and put the card into Wii. It found nicely all my stuff on the card and I started HBC and then SDUSBLoader 1.5. I selected SD/SDHC as a drive and it said "no wbfs, please format". I pressed A and it showed me 10GB and 20GB partitions to select to format. I selected 20GB partition and after very quick formatting I just started to rip discs Worked like a charm for me. I can also use the FAT32 part with Windows 7 normally.
Im going to give up this "one card method" though because its not very convenient. 1. Windows does not understand at all the partitioning -> Cannot use WBFS Manager. 2. SDUSBLoader (Channel) always proposes first "USB drive" as a drive and I have the change it to "SD/SDHC". Small issue but anyways. 3. All (currently available) Wii Menu shortcut game Channels can start games only from HDD.
Im planning now to use my 16GB SDHC as a "HDD" i.e. use it via USB adapter for WBFS. Then Ill use this another 4GB card for homebrew and covers etc.
