The instructions are here:
http://www.swapmagic3.com/default.htm
But when you get to that screen with the 2 options, that is the time to do the swap. Then press X on joypad once swapped.
If you still have problems, then it is probably with the pieces you have installed. You didnt say if its magic keys or what you are using.
You need to make sure they are placed properly.
What backup are you trying to play, and what is the disk size?

To all:
Magic Keys are frustrating and somewhat useless.
I used the tape and tissue method, and I have had no problems.
Swap Magic DVD discs are tricky smuges and scratches cause the DVD disc to be faulty. I have had it not work, but I clean discs, as well as my PS2 lens every other day.
Helps to keep it working.
If you have a fat PS2 with a flip-top or dreaded slide tool, then why not buy a used MGS3 (high TOC) and use cogswap elf. It's cheaper than swap magic, and worked for me when I had mine.
good to go!!

So Amon24, let me get this right . . . you DID or did NOT install the modchip?
No swapmagic, cogswap elf, magic keys, or whatever will work unless you install the modchips. Otherwise the PS2 freaks out when opened.
If you did, the instructions above should work: Start up with loader of choice (Swapmagic works great for me), at the load screen touch nothing (unless you have a weird PS2 or live in Asia or Australia), open the lid, take out the swap disc, put in the correctly copied game.
If it still messes up, my guess is that you copied the game incorrectly, or are trying to load a program (such as an emulator) that is configured incorrectly.
I use nero express to do a one-to-one copy of my games, be sure to close the session/disc. It works for 90% of my games.
Good luck, and happy new year.

My Swap Magic 3.6 is messed up. I turned my PS2 on this morning to play Sega Master System games for a while by using Swap Magic 3.6 (DVD Version). Later today, I turned my PS2 on to boot up the Swap Magic 3.6 (DVD Version) and it suddenly took longer to be read. Sometimes it boots up properly, sometimes it don't. Can anyone fix the problem?
The CD version don't work
The DVD version just keeps taking long to be read.
You know, the memory cards, the currently inserted disc...
And sometimes it do dat.

What version PS2 do you have?
Do you have issues with original disks? It could be your laser needs cleaning or replacing.

I have a slim PS2. My other PS2 game discs work fine except for this one. No, it's not the laser, it's just the disc.

To rule out the if the Swap Magic Disks are bad or not, is to try them in a friends or another PS2.
If you do have problems down the road with reading other disks, it is probably due to the V12 poor laser.
It is called the V12 Syndrome, the coils burn out on the laser.
Quotes from sites

Just another war story- I finally replaced my laser with one that I ordered from Hong Kong. To put it short, a lot waiting and a lot of effor to remove the anti-static solder point without damaging the laser, just to find out the new one wasn't much better than my old one. I can play a few copied games with TOCs that are relatively small.
