I'll give that a shot, but it doesn't make sence. When I was a noob, (!), I was FTP'ing files from D: to PC then back to F: cause that's what this particular tutorial said to do. Then I had to patch a couple games. I noticed more problems with newer games that's when HALOfan introduced me to HDDloader, which I already had installed. I just wasn't familiar with it.
Point being, my older games boot fine, it's the new games that I backup that have been patched by HDDloader, that only boot after a failed install.
So my F: drive looks like this
Dead to rights
Max Payne
NBA Streets
AF delta storm
DOA beach vollyball
Outlaw Vollyball
Hitman2
NCAA 2004
Wreckless
Time splitters 2
PXgame0 midnight club 2
PXgame1 Mat Hoffmans's
PXgame2 Ghost recon
PXgame3 splinter cell
PXgame4 spiderman
PXgame5 THPS3
PXgame6 conflict desert storm
PXgame7 Soul Calibor 2 (Bootable backup)
PXgame8 NFL Fever 2004 (BACKED UP)
PXgame9 Gotham
PXgame10 Ghost recon 2
PXgame11 Freestyle Metal X (Bootable backup)
PXgame12 halo (installed from backup)
PXgame13 NFL fever 2003
PXgame14 Medal of honor
The games that currently say PXgame## backup fine but only boot after failed install. The games that are self titled, FTPd from DtoPCtoF, boot fine.
Now you are saying, why don't you just backup the disk and not the folder on your HDD. Tried that on one game and I failed to patch it. So it didn't load= $1 coaster. So I patched it, then burnt it, and again = $1 coaster.
So I figure if anything, backup the PXgame folder cause I can allways FTP it back to F in the event the HDD crashes. But I stumbled on the abilty to boot the game after the failed install.
Sorry to drag this on... thanks rusty...
