HDLoader Help Please

[Neipas02]

This is weird.. gonna start looking for some kind of solution or at least source of the problem.

Alright in one thread off another forum a reviewer/user of a HDLoader says it only took him 3 minutes to format a 160gig drive.. Another user in another forum describes the same problem you're having with the hangups and never ending format. Maybe you just got a bad product.. only way you could find out for sure is get ahold of another copy from another source and give that a try.. Other than that dunno..

alright alright.. I found this in the same forum. Sorry for posting in triplicate.

"First of all: DO NOT USE HD loader to format this disc. It will just hang.
Anyway: I used DMS HDD tool to format, and it did the job (took 20 seconds or so) - Thanks to Khafan

Then, put in HD loader. At the loading screen where it says "HD loader", it hangs (bug 1). BUT, there is a trick:
First, you hear the HDD spin up and then after 4 seconds or so, spin down. When it's down, press eject button. The loader will go to the menu!!
(bug2 : *** unbelievable!!!!!)

You can get your HDD loader disc out if you want.

Now, you are in the menu.
First i installed 'auto modellisa (dvd rip)' and it installed without any errors. Then i wanted to get to my second game, so i click install. Then it says 'not enough HDD space', so i click install again. it works!
I got this a couple of times in the beginning when installing games, just click 'install' again, and it works! (bug 3) "

No Idea if that'll help period.. But eh I think I've stretched this out long enough.

Thanks Neipas02 It works when I do the method you posted below

I have to keep ejecting the tray to get to the menu but I'll get used to it.

Thanks again
