Fmcb ps2 hdd manager takes long time to load install#
so I took the hard drive out of the ps2 then used WinHIIP to install an iso. I did get it work once but I didn't have any games on the hard drive.

Nothing shows up only a message saying "no data" (assuming I don't have any memory cards and disc in). The ps2 suppose to boot straight into the menu where you have the option of selecting "Browser" or "System Configuration" but instead it boots into the Browser meun (where you can select the memory card's and disc inside the ps2). Using this method I can hear the hard drive spinning and trying to boot, but its stops afterwards. It's suppose to allow me to boot from the ps2 browser menu. Other guides (on a site that goes against the forum rule but here is a youtube link explaining it ) suggest I try adding a image to the hard drive using HDDRawCopy1.02Portable, which I did. The hard drive shows up after changing the setting to auto, but there isn't any games listed. It seem to be able to install but the only game I have has lots of scratches on the disk so I get an error at 2%. The new menu want me to install my games from there. I just decide to format the hard drive using HDLoader. After using winhiip over and over to no avail. Here is the problem hdloader load up fine, but it ask me to format my hdd.

I attach it to the network adapter put it inside the ps2 and boot HDloader from ulaunch elf. I had a few problem using WinHIIP with my hard drive but I manage to get it working. My memory card is loaded with Free mcboot from when I used to use my slim Ps2. The hard drive is new, got it two days ago. I'm trying to get my Ps2 working with my hard drive to play games from it but not sure what's the problem.
