No you cannot copy the PS2 games to the hard drive and the only way you can play backed up PS2 games on a PS3 is by using swap switch. There's a tutorial stickied at the top of the PS3 forum. It involves soldering and cutting the top of your PS3 open so I'd advise you not to do it unless you have lots of experience.
