It is not possible to open a WBFS partition which is on a FAT32 drive. (with a wbfs folder as required to be seen by by wiiflow)

Message : Can't open partition.

I have nearly the same issue. Let me explain it in more detail.

I have a harddisk split in two partitions (also for wiiflow), partition A is small and for home-brew stuff. Partition B is formatted as NTFS and contains WBFS files.

Inside QWBFS i can see both partitions on the drive, but as soon as i select Partition B (containing the WBFS files) it results in an error message "Can't open partition".

See attached screenshots below for more details.

Error in QWBFS: qwbfs-error

Please note that actually QWBFS Manage only handle wbfs partitions even if it can list other partitions type. So this is not a real issue. The handling of native partitions (fat, ext etc) is a feature planned for some time now. Sadly, I do lack of time to work on it for now :/

Ok, to bad it is not going to work soon. Nevertheless, thanks for your answer!

I do understand how having several side projects can be time consuming next to all the actually important things in life. :+1:
