So, I've read people are able to use these programs with drives smaller than 40gb (mine is just over 30). My question is, is one better than the other? They're both the same price but I really haven't got the money to buy the other if the first one doesn't work well. I just wanna boot with minimal difficulty and be on with it. The only difference as far as I can tell is one has seperate discs for CDs and DVDs and the other doesn't. Any insight would be appreciated!

I had HD Advance 2.1, it worked flawlessly, now i have HD Advance 3, and am equally impressed.
I havent tried HD Loader, but i know it doesnt support as many games as HD Advance 3.
