Question noobie PS2 HDD question

OK I'm a complete noob here & have only just registered so kick me in the right direction if I'm posting in the wrong section etc.

What I've sussed so far is that I can get any pc HDD (preferably on the compatable list or by taking the screws out of the network card)

I then need HDloader, I take it this is a CD that I have to boot off.

After this I can then play backups of my games from the HDD which is plugged into my ps2 network card.

If I'm right with all of the above then things are looking good but I have no mod chip. do I need one or is the whole point of the HDLoader software & HDD to save me having to do this ?

Thanks for any help,
like I said I'm very new to this & am just working out what I do or don't need to do.
worto.

yep thats correct. You do not need a modchip if you have the orginal HD Loader. DO NOT GET HD ADVANCED! (rubbish clone)

If you get a modchip, find out your ps2 version, best is v7 with Matrix Infinity in my opinion.

Also Make sure you get GOOD MEDIA! Ritek G04.

Thank you

Also do not get a slide card, this WILL wreck your laser, so will bad media And having your console on the carpet. I also advise you buy a side stand to help prevent dust getting into your console.

my GT3 is going out and can i backup a game without needing a mod chip or boot disc?

I plan to buy that HD loader eventually. But i want to backup my GT3 before it's to late. I have already had to repair the disc once

you can back it up, you can't play the backed up version yet though (duh).

@ H|LL: why is putting your ps2 on the carpet bad? and why is putting your ps2 on its side good, how will it prevent dust from coming in?
