Line 29:

Use FTPiiU Everywhere or the FTPiiU Plugin and browse to <code>/storage_mlc/usr/import</code> then delete any files in the folder if any exists. This is where the partial installs exist after incomplete installs. It'll be <code>/storage_usb/usr/import</code> if installed to a USB.

The import folder should always be kept empty.

=== I put my SD card in the Wii U but it didn't give me any files. What's wrong? ===

Nothing is wrong. The Wii U will never give you files, because the SD card isn't used by the Wii U, which means it won't show in Data Management. You put the files on there yourself before running any exploit.

=== '''Can I install games to the SD card instead of an HDD?''' ===

No. The SD card is not used for game storage. The Wii U uses a proprietary format for drives, a format that isn't a typical format you see used(FAT32, NTFS, .etc). The SD card is primarily used for vWii(Virtual Wii mode), but also Mii Maker(for QR code creation), and Sm4sh photos.

=== Can I use one partition for Wii U games, and another partition for vWii games? ===

You cannot. The Wii U formats the entire partition. Either use a separate drive, or stick with VC injects that makes them fit all on one drive.

=== My HDD doesn't work or makes a weird clicking sound, what should I do? ===
