HDLoader Problem...
 

Gyad nothing ever works...i don't know about this thing. I can't get my ps2 to read the disc...it just says disc not read...i've tried cleaning it off and stuff but it don't work...any ideas? There is two little tiny 1 cm long strips of what looks like hot glue...it's like hard crusty plastic on the disc...like right towards the center...there very small...are those supposed to be there?

i dunno about the glue, but u may have got a ripped version (burned disc).. check for the #'s on the inside of the disc!

Sounds like a HK disc to me (where the Data Verification layer is split from one disc and welded to a copied media to make it boot)...

so are you able to use your backups to install the games on the hdd or do you need to use the originals ??

If you don't have a chip, you'll have to use your originals...
