wii bootmii install problem

[barrysmith]

just brought the kids a wii for xmas (black one). its got 4.3e on it so i've gone through the norm channels to softmod it but when i get to bootmii install on hbc it say "can only be installed as an ios - the installed boot1 version prevents boot2 install (-2).

any ideas.

it has the new bootloader which prevents it being installed

luckily its not not needed to softemod, its only used to recover if you brick it

just skip it and follow the rest of the tut

i,ve skipped it rael and now when i go to neogamma and boot a game it says "DRIVE TO NEW FOR DVD-R" so won't boot a game.it boots originals though

newer models don't read dvd-r at all, your options are chip it, replace with old d2c drive or use HDD

o dear back to the shop then or i do have an old wii so would it be a case of simple swapping the drives? i also have a clip and chip spare. you thinks might work buddy.

not entirely sure about either method, someone else will need to confirm

Why not just add a usb drive and forget disks?
