I got my HDD with my FFXI in April of 2004. One day when the city construction workers knocked the cable out, I got disconnected and so I logged out, and turned my PS2 off. When I came back several hours later, I turned my PS2 on and went to load up the HDD and found that my PS2 won't even load the HDD. The icon won't even appear in the browser screen. Yet I do know the network adapter is working because I could go online in Socom II. I've been looking online for similar problems and so far have found known. I called SE directly and they directed me to Sony since it was Sony hardware. Sony told me that it could be the HDD or the PS2, so I should try to format it in my own PS2, and if that doesn't work, try a friends. If niether works, than it's the HDD that's messed up. I tried on both my PS2 and my friend which is a couple years younger than mine. (I purchased mine in 2000.) I called Sony again, and the first guy had a slight attitude and didn't seem to be to patient. He said that my HDD had malfunctioned because of physical abuse and neglect. (Which is hard to beleive since my PS2 is in my room, inside a glass entertainment system case.) So I hung up on him, called back, and got a nicer guy who explained that they aren't supposed to diagnose problems that involve customers paying for their hardware to be repaired. But anyway, he said that he couldn't help me, and that I would have to send it in so they could take a look at it. Can anyone help me out here? Someone please help me!! I don't want to lose my data on my HDD!
