(Just messing around)
You said you were still holding eject... After the gold disc appears you are supposed to release the eject button....
PS2 DVDR Backups:
(need to have an Original DVD PS2 Game with a high TOC)
• Turn on the PS2 without a game in.
• Choose Browser.
• Press EJECT, then insert your Original DVD Game.
• Press and Hold EJECT to close the tray. Keep EJECT pressed until the game registers (a gold disc will appear).
• Release EJECT, the tray will auto eject, and stay ejected for 6 seconds.
• Insert your DVDR game and wait for the tray to close.
• Press X to load the game.
