I'm trying to copy about 1.3 GB worth of stuff from my Wii U console to a USB drive.  The process is on 1/3 and the blue progress bar has filled up but it's been sitting like that for ~5 minutes now.  Does that mean it's frozen?  I wouldn't think it would take even close to that long to transfer such a small amount of data.  Is it going to mess up anything if I do a hard reset??  The message on the screen says "Please do not remove the USB-device and do not turn the console off."  :unsure:

Leave her alone.

If you want to, disconnect the hard drive.

Last resort would be touching the console itself.

Ok...still sitting with full progress bar on 1/3....I guess I'll wait a few minutes and then remove the USB drive

 

*******update***********

 

I removed the USB drive and was prompted by an error message to reset the console.  After doing that, I tried just transferring one file and it worked fine.  Now I'm trying to transfer just the second file and it froze again.  This is ridiculous.  

 

***update****

 

Thanks for weighing in, Nollog!

 

I tried a different device and it works fine, so I'm guessing there must be some kind of compatibility issue with my PNY USB drive.
