What I have:
-PS2-Fatty (version 3)
-Network Adapter
-200GB IDE hard-drive
-MagicSwap 3.8 Coder

So I bought a network adapter off of a friend for $15. Since I have a Seagate 200GB IDE laying around I thought it would be nice to start booting my back-ups off the hard-drive instead.

Is it possible to use magicswap to boot up hard-drive? How would I go about doing so?

Yes you can launch elf files off a usb pen drive.
So you can put your hdloader.elf on the pen drive and load it. You just have to make a folder called "SWAPMAGIC" on the pen drive and rename your elf files accordingly.

It explains in this manual.

You also could put the files on a mc and launch with Swap Magic by downloading the smboot.zip file. Instructions are also there.

Another solution is too install fmcb 1.8 with your Swap Magic, and then no need to use the Swap Magic disc to launch ELF files.

Tutorials are all here including the files in the Noobie package, , DVDELF.bin file, and how to install using Swap Magic.
