Hey Guys,
I have an hd advanced on my ps2. its pretty much the same as an hd loaded exept the starting screen is red...lol...well anyway once i was buring a game on to it and my bro disconnected the power. (what an idiot) Well anyway. i started it back up and then it said that it couldnt detect the hdd, and that really pissed me off!!! it was a 120 gb hdd i think and there was 90 bg worth of games on it and it was new!!! most importanly it cost me 100$ and ya. so do you think you guys can help me?

-Thanks

Try removing the Hdd and checking what jumper setting you have it on Make sure you set it to master. Try putting the hdd in a computer and use HDL dump to see if it is detected (note: your computer will not see the hdd only hdl dump will see it) HD dump can be found at HDadvance website.

Or use WINHIIP's scan/repair drive function fixed that rror a few times for me.

hey guys,
i got win hip and hdl dump, for winhiip when i strat it up it can detect the hdd, but it say something about there not being a master boot file on there, also it only shows up al .11 gigs so theres not enough space. also i dont know how to use hdl dump, and where do i get it, cause the one i got i think it just binary code so i need the real thing

do you have anyother suggestions about anyother softwares?

-thanks
