I just bought a maxtor 200gb and hdadvance 3.0 and was wondering what is the fastest way to put my games on the hdd. I have tried converting using the hd software and takes about an hour about 300kbps is there a faster way I know there's the option of using winhiip and wondering how long that will take, I would have to reripp my games on to pc's hdd and then using winhiip would have to install them right so then wonder would it probably take as long as converting the game or longer you the method of winhiip.

Nevermind I was using the wrong boot disk to covert I was using the cd instead of the dvd so that's why it took forever. Now the hdadvance dvd won't boot the only thing that I could think of would be using swapmagic then swaping it, is that what I'm suppose to do or is it suppose to boot right up? Thanks in advance.

Yes hdloader/hdadvance would take about 40min at 300kpbs but it slowly goes up, it can transfer a 4.5gb game in less than 20min (25min max).
WINHIIP can do it in 3-5 min copying to HDD from ISO. Ripping straight to HDD is as quick as your writer, which would be only 10min.

Find an image of Hdloader .08b DVD and burn it, use Swap Magic to boot it.

HDloader is way better/more enhanced than hdadvance, thanks to all the homebrew coders working on it. HDloader has way better compatibility with games as well as suport for 200gb+ HDDs.
The people at HDadvanced are nothing but losers who rip of other people products, HDloader first came out and was sold for a long time then Sony shut them down. The homebrew coders/devs kept the project going with regular updates and features, then all of a sudden hdadvanced appeared, just a skinned version of HDloader.]
Everytime there is a new updated HDadvance it means they pressed the latest copy of hdloader that can be found free on th net.

I gues there's no right way to ask but I have searched torrents and was unable to find 0.8 I guess I will have to look harder or could use some help I'd anyone doesn't mind. Also would I have to reformat will load I formated it with advance, or there's is no need for that. Sorry for all the newbie ?'s.
