Could some1 jsut post/link a basic guide to use my pc to put games on a hardrive. If you aren't sure if what you have to say isnt what Im looking for post it anyway. I have no modchip/swap magic and I dont want to wear my laser out.
I have a DVD drive and USB 2.0 and of course IDE

i dont know of a guide its pretty simple really, all you have to do is take your ps2's hard drive out and plug it into your ide cable in your computer. Once you do that start up windows as normal, dont worry if you cant see your ps2 hard drive in my computer this is normal. Then you can use a program to transfer a game to the hd such as Hd Handiness you can transfer an .iso standar image or juts transfer a ps2 game straight from your dvd drive. i dont know where to get hd handiness from i download it from the PS2NFO site but its doing an upgrade right now but if you google it im sure you can find it oh and HDL dump is also an alternative but i havent tried it.

Lol, I dont have a problem, im just curious as to what to do. You set them for slave in comp and master in ps2 right? SO HDLoader automaticallt recognizes them? That woul dbe awesome, but what about dual layer games?
Hmm, Im a bit curious as to something, does the name that you give the image that you put on the HD automatically go to

then you simply flatten out the image some games may also require additional patching after this has been done try this link for a complete walkthrough http://www.ps2nfo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70
