Topic: Error during transfer from Wii to Wii U

Hey, I finally decided to transfer all my info from my Wii to my Wii U tonight and I followed all the steps, but a minute or two after the data on the Wii starts being copied to the SD card, it says "An error occurred while accessing Wii system memory. Refer to the Wii Operations Manual for details." support.nintendo says that means there is a problem with my system, and that I should send it in for repair. Is this my only option? I'm a bit upset by this...

Try it again. I've seen this error on these forums before and the users said they just tried again and it worked

Okay. I'll try again. It'll be my third attempt though.

If it doesn't work, I'll delete all my sisters' shovelware then try again.
After that... I dunno...

Well, the third attempt was a bust. It seems to be stopping at 10% completion.

I'll delete all those extra save files I won't need.

Okay. That worked. All my data has been transfered. Thanks for the help.
And Thank You Nintendo for that wonderful transfer sequence going on. It was beautiful.

Case Closed.

Glad I could help

Sounds like a case of not enough memory on the card. Glad it worked.

I don't think that was the case; It was a brand new 16 GB card I had just bought.
