Failing to load NTFS drive on top USB port in WII U. Error: Ret=-1 about cfg-loader HOT 3 OPEN

I am using USB HDD. 
Hard drive is NTFS.
CIOS ... god knows. How do I change my CIOS version, do I need to use home brew 
or does the CFG loader have the ability to change it.
v70
249
it shows when it was loading

It does NOT work with other USB Loaders.. I tried WiiFlow. No luck. However, if 
I convert to FAT32 drive using EaseUS partition manager, then WiiFlow at least 
knows what the game titles are, even though it anc't load them.

set it to Fat32 Primary partition. Now reloading games using
WiiBackupManager_Win64

I was trying with the following 3 game ids
RLBPWR : Lego Batman compressed
S3ME69 : Sims 3
RMCE01: MarioKartWii

I'd love to know if the USB loaders work on Wii U for you guys. 
I followed the beautiful tutorial here:
http://wiiuhax.com/released-ios236-installer-mod-v8-for-vwii/
Apparently not so beautiful seeing as how in the end, I can't load my WII USB 
games.

Also, I can't rip a disc, it was saying not enough space on the 500MB sata 
western digital drive using Aluratek dock or whatever space it is. The rip disc 
is probably another usb loader... seeing as how your configurable USB loader 
didn't even read my disk so far...at least not the NTFS.

Ripping all 3 games to WBFS will take me another precious 10 minutes using the 
WII Game loader.. too bad none of them work.

Does the Configurable USB Loader, check to see if the disk is inserted or 
something? Are my WII U backups just not beautiful enough?
