i just bought a Seagate 120GB Barracuda, i have a Matrix Infinity mod-chip. PS2 version 9. i get to the point where it's formatting my hard drive. is there supposed to be a percentage bar when it formats. all i see is "formatting drive... please wait..." i waited for 4 hours!... thanks for all the help.

It should do it in about 5-10 minutes. Try formating using the DMS HDD Formatter. You don't need the chip to use this software, btw...

Also is the barracuda (Seagate barracuda 120GB RIGHT?!) the one that you turned off in the middle of formatting the first time, or is this a new one. If you can’t get HDloader to format the drive, I would take lufc's advice and try DMS3's format tool. You can find it here http://www.dms3.com/cgi-bin/dms3/dlc...ips/DMS3_Tools Good luck
