Hey,

There's a few ways of formatting a PC hdd into a Ps2 hdd, you can get hdadvance or hdloader which will format the hdd into a ps2 file system allowing you to install & play games, the other way is to use WinHIP on your PC but to do that you need to connect the ps2 hdd as a SLAVE drive, WinHIP is a PC application that enables you to format the PC hdd into a Ps2 hdd or transfer game images to the Ps2 hdd.

Thing is since you have swap magic you don?t need to buy hdadvance or hdloader because you can install one onto your memory card using the exploit method, if you need help making a exploit check this link out,

Thanks for the help.......one more question......is there a way to start my HDD on my PS2 without using swap magic and hdloader or can I copy them to the HDD and have it boot from there?

Thanks

I think you can only do that if you have a modchip
