Hello,

I'm a newbee to the PS2 game...

What I currently have:

Swap Magic 3.6 Combo NTSC
PS2 SCPH 30001R (V5/V6)
Network Adapter
Taiyo Yuden 4.7GB 8X DVD+R
NEC 2500A
Seagate ST340810A
----------------------

I play Socom 3 Online; Sony is releasing packs for Socom 3 in march for only $6. You need a hard drive or a PSP to store these packs so I was wondering if I could hook up my hard drive to the PS2 and store these packs. If it's possible, can someone give me a guide, step by step, explaining how do to this.

I aslo was wondering if it was possible to store games in the hard drive so I can play them without having the actual DVD.

So basically, all I need is HDLoader to format my hard drive thru my PS2? (By burning the program to a DVD+R and booting it up in the PS2?). Then I transfer my HDD back to my computer and install WinHIIP on my computer and transfer the games to the HDD with it? Seems pretty easy to me.

When I transfer the files, can I just transfer the .iso or I have to extract the ISO and transfer.

Another question. When I transfer the game to the HDD. How do I get it running on my PS2?
