u CAn put ur HD in ur PCand then put games on it, and put it back in ur PS2 so u can play those games
1. format it with HDLOADER cd (PS2 format)
2.get the prog to put the games on it(i have it)
3. have fun
but all this wont work if u ca't even start the HDLOADER cd.
I'll bet u have REAL copy, thus needing a chip to be able to read the HDLOADER cd..
