Having to repeat the same operation with HDL

[woo124]

Hi,

When I'm using HD Loader. I am forced to do things twice to get it done.
First, when I put my new HDD in, it asked me to format, I said OK, but them it gave me Fatal Error, saying Formatting failed. But, when I rebooted HDL, it looked like it was formatted already. It went straight to the menu.
Now, whenever I try to install a new game, it says the following after I enter the game name:
Not enough space is available on the HDD, Please free up some space.
But, there's plenty of space.
And, if I try it the second time around, it works fine.
Did anybody have the same or similar experience?
What could be the cause and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Just the kind of thing that happens some time, this is no prefect science.

If this happens every time, the format may be bad. You may want to try formatting with the DMS Format Tool and then load all your games on. Everybody gets this error every now and again, but as you say, second time it's fine. Try reformatting...
