Ok, lufcfan.
I did what u asked above and it goes blank then it get the screen x Enter o Back with the Playstation 2 Disc at top right of screen and PS2 at top left side of screen - sorry, yes i confused everyone - i use the double tap of reset for dvd movies thought i meant to do the same with PS2 but alas still not work on just by booting normally. So will revert back to what u suggested and not 'copy on the fly' which I did do with this game.
Thanks a bunch once again.
