PS2 HDD problems

[ottoman]

I recently stuck my hard drive back in my v10 PS2. I originally removed it as was getting annoyed with the lack of reset facility the hdd caused but have a few games i play regular so was gonna give it another whirl.

The problem is that nothing will install onto it.

I am using HDLoader and it detects and formats the hdd fine but anything original or backup i try and install it just hangs on the checking disc page.

As i said I had the same hdd installed before with no problems. Anyone come across this?

PS2 is modded with Matrix Infinity and f/w is 1.36.
