I bought HDLoader a couple weeks ago and it FINALLY arrived in the mail yesterday (11-25-06) and I started burning games to my 120 gig Seagate hard drive immediately. Everything was going smooth, games were working, then i remembered why I got HDL... to not use my laser as much. Sure enough, i'm not the only person to do this, and thats where WinHIIP comes into play. From what i understand, WinHIIP is a program that burns the PS2 games onto a hard drive that you have connected to your computer. Well, I took out the hard drive that i had in my ps2 and stuck it in my computer. WinHIIP recognizes it, and when i click on the drive to select it, and error message pops up saying "The selected hard drive does not have a valid PS2 Master Boot Record". How do i get this Master Boot Record? Shouldn't it already be on there? After that I went to Utilities>Scan/Repair and it scanned my hard drive and showed that i had 6 games on it. Obviously something is not working... so can anyone tell me anything?

And, basically, how do i use WinHIIP?

different loaders use different 'file systems' let's call it and you'll need to let WinHIIP change the file system to it's own recognizable file system (like a PC from a FAT32 to NTFS)

i know the Toxic OS can do this without loosing data, i don't recall if WinHIIP can or not. you may have to let it format the drive and reload the images again.
