Very nice Document and i did every thing what it said over here but I am getting an error ERROR:failed to mount filesystem:hdd0 P.HDL.Pirates of Cariban-5 Here what i did (1) Connect my HDD to PC and format using Winzip 1.7.6 in full pmode.

(2) Add the image using winhzip. (3) Connect the HDD back to PS2 ( change the jumper setting). (4) Boot the PS2 using MC exploit. (5) PS2 boot succsssfully and using PS2Menu and the next screen said the above error. Is i am doing some thing wrong. Please help me.
If you're only using your PS2 to play games off HDD, can you leave the HDAdvance disc in your PS2 indefinitely? I don't see any reason why you'd need to remove the disc, save perhaps trying to run other homebrew apps.
Will this be a problem for the system? Also, does it put that much strain on the PS2 laser to read HDadvance. I would think the burden is far less than playing any store bought PS2 game. Further question, would I need to remove the disc if I wanted to play some of my games online?

However I'd suggest that you get swap magic instead of HDAdvance if you don't have a modchip/swap magic, because you can do more with swap magic than HDAdvance.'
So when I've got at standard (no chip or other mod.) PS2 V7/8 and wants to play games from HDD I could either: 1. Buy a version of HDADvance 3.0 from a retailer 2. Buy swap magic from a retailer (but then I'll need a slide card or?) There is no possibility for me to run games from HDD using a downloaded copy of a boot cd when I haven't got a chip or slide card etc.?
I am finding a program called HD Advance and it's fifty bucks! A friend of mine has already installed the drive in his PS2 (I may be doing this as well) and wants to use it, but the thing does not access it. Isn't there an open-source program somewhere that lets you do this? I'm not talking about a full blown Linux distro.
Blur pc patch 12 download mac. He still wants to play games on it (but I'm interested in that part myself). Is there an open-source free alternative for this? The console has been out for several years now, I'd honestly be surprised if there isn't. Searching got me lost in a sea of halfway promising looking links.
After a few tries I basically gave up, too many to sift through. You'll need a 'Fat' PS2 with the Network Adapter.
You'll also need a Codebreaker disc (anything above Version eight), a Memory Card, and a USB Flash Drive that will work with a PS2. Then go to sksapps.com and download the latest versions of UlaunchELF, Free McBoot, and HDLoader.08c.
You should also want the program WiinHip which will give you the option to install PS2 games onto a hard drive from a PC. This site also has instructions on how to install the stuff to the memory card. Having something like IsoBuster might not be a bad idea for certain games that cannot be installed properly from either HDLoader or WiinHip. Use IsoBuster to make an ISO of a game then use WiinHip to install it to the PS2 HDD. I have a 160GB drive in my PS2 and HDLoader runs great. The only game I have trouble trying to install is 'Half-Life' and I hope to have that installed soon.
