    Currently you can't use External Drives (I searched the site), and you can only use this currently: Nintendo USB LAN adapter.

    See: http://www.wiichat.com/nintendo-wii-...ard-drive.html
    Owned: Excite Truck [8 GRP], Wii Sports [6G, 7R, 8P], Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess [9G, 5RP], Elebits [7GR, 5P], Wii Play [5G, 8RP], The Godfather: Blackhand Edition [10G, 9R, 7P], Super Paper Mario [8G, 6R, 5P], SSX Blur [10 GRP].
    Rented: Rayman Raving Rabbids [6G, 7R, 9P].
    Wanted: Resident Evil 4, no Wii games currently.

    G = Gameplay Rating, R = Replay Value, P = Party Rating, all out of 10.

    Yes you can use a USB HD.

    The HD must be formatted to FAT 32, not NTFS.

    Plus the HD into the Wii and remove any SD cards.

    The Wii will detect the HD as the storage device.

    Bingo.

    Haz is right. The trick is FAT32, not NTFS.
