Thank you so much buddy! I created an account just to thank you.
OK, here's how to get Windows 7 to prepare a drive for WBFS Manager to format it. 1. Make sure the drive is connected. 2. Start-->Type: "Disk Management" and hit Enter. 3. Find the drive in the list. (Look in the bottom section, not the top.) If necessary, disconnect and reconnect it to make sure you are targeting the right one. 4. If it is formatted already, right click and "Delete Volume". Click yes to confirm. It should now say "Unallocated". 5. Right-click on the drive and click on "New Simple Volume". Click next twice. Allow it to set a drive letter, click next again. Select "Do not format this volume" (to make it a Raw volume). Finish. 6. Windows will pop up a message asking you to format the disk. Click cancel. 7. Close Disk Management and go to WBFS Manager. 8. Refresh the drive list if necessary, select the drive you were just working on in Disk Management, and click "Format". Click yes if you are sure it is the right drive. 9. You should see the success msgbox pop up telling you that it worked. 10. Click "Load" to load the drive. (I'm not sure this is necessary, but I did it anyway since I'm just a dumb user in this case. I program other things.) At this point you can browse to the .iso files and "Add to Drive". Good luck! If you found this helpful, pass the favor along by helping someone else with something that you are good at. :)Coder1, you are a genius. It worked perfectly for me. Took me a little to figure out what I was doing when following your advice, but I did it!
