it wont unless you use a PS2 program such as WinHIIP, the drive has a PS2 master boot record and windows will not detect it.

not to be overly particular :) why not use the official link for WinHIIP?? http://winhiip.ps2hd.com/ I'm sure GadgetFreak would be thankful.

Dunno, I use SKS Apps for everything. It's got everything in one convienent place. I wasn't even aware of where the official Winhiip link was. You do have to register with PS2HD.com to access the download section. I try to provide links to direct downloads.

your going to have to format it or install into a console with a DMS4 Pro running the Toxic OS and you 'MIGHT' get lucky as it will give you the option to change formats without loosing data. not sure it will work with your whipping out the master boot record or not.
