Yeah, that won't work...

Unless your PS2 is modded, you need to be able to read CDs to boot into HDLoader. I would try cleaning my laser if I were you. Who know, that could be why you can't read CDs. Search the forums for a guide.

Why did you wipe out the data from your XBOX? I'm not too sure how it works with XBOXs, but from what i understand, as long as the hard drive is unlocked, you can do whatever you want to it. I have never heard of a PC side program for resetting a hard drive to their default setting.

As long as you have a chip, you should be able to reinstall your dashboard, but you do need to have a DVD drive. I really can't help you out too much on this problem because i just don't have the experience with that console. I would try over in the XBOX section or the forum for your chip retailer/manufacturer.
