Yes because the Network Adaptor has a HD connector on it.

Yes, to hook up the Hdd to it. It has the ide and power fitted and plugs into the hdd.

Thanks, obviously not clued up enough! You can't use a network adapter with a modchip though can you

[crazygamelover]

No. You may want to just read and search for a while to get better clued as you say. Try reading the "Ultimate info sticky" and the rules. They will help in regard to understanding the basics.

Well of course he did, as the NA is what the HDD actually plugs into, and then the NA plugs into the PS2.

Yes you can, you just cant play online games with a mod chip unless you do the DNAS patches.... now I'm predicting your next question "What is a DNAS patch?" Well I wont go into it but you can get info about it here

Hi there, I actually have HDLoader but needed advice on chosing a harddrive and i wanted the 120gb seagate 2mb 7200rpm but have read the 1 in 19 times it does not work. Now Im not sure if this is the hardware or just people not setting it up right but has anybody had any experience in this matter. My other option is the 120gb maxtor but have read that this gets rather hot and so i am reluctant.

Help appreciated.

Just go with the Seagate. If HDLoader cant format it Im sure youll be able to with some other formatting tool.

I tried out my hd loader from consolesource.com for the first time and I get a disc read error. I have an early us ps2 and a seagate 120 gig hd. Haven't had many disc read errors with other discs. do you think I have a bad hd loader? should I try cleaning my laser, if so, any recommendations?

thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I'm at work, so I can't give any specific model numbers at the moment.

[TylerDurden]

Yeah try a laser cleaner and also try placing your ps2 in a vertical position (if it isnt already).
