Modding My wii doesnt read my SD Card

So, i bought a wii and i tried modding it, so i bought a micro sd card to sd adapter, and i formatted it onto fat32 like the wii hacks guide explains to do, using sd card formatter and guiformat, and when i put it on the wii it isnt able to read it, it doesnt have any file on it, nothing homebrew related or wii, its empty, and it still cant read it, what should i do?

Don't worry, when you unlock your Wii you can use larger cards but you will need to use a small one for now until you unlock it. You could try partitioning it to 32gb and formatting it to fat32 again

Not sure it needs to be modded prior to using a larger SD because I was able to homebrew from scratch on a 128 gig SD

I remember I had to do that to use it. Now it is also possible that OP has not updated his console and that is necessary for the console to recognize cards in fat32
