Even the old notebook was using Win 8.1. None of them were that old. I found some comments mentioning crossover cable is needed but of course I'm not sure.
Then again why am I having this problem? I'm really confused.
Cancelled my cable order, because then I would have to get another cable to power the HDD and remove it everytime I want to install something. So instead, I got a FMCB card.
After disabling the chip and restarting the device it booted into FMCB without any problems. However, my PC cannot see it...
Maybe something like this?

The comment sections say I'll require a power source though. And they also say it doesn't work with SATA HDDs even though there is a slot for them.
Is removing PS2 HDD a hard thing? Like I...
I tried pressing L1 while booting up the device, nothing happened. The bad thing is I don't have a memory card either.
The game list only shows games for me, I triple checked it. No apps unfortunately.
Won't I need an IDE to USB converter in order to connect my HDD to PC?

FTP is my only option.
People keep saying Free Mcboot is required for these types of programs. Should I burn it to a CD and try installing? I can't even access any settings regarding FTP on my PS2.
I searched some of the options in the Google, and by the looks of it I have HD Loader installed, the menu design, information layout is very similar. Plus they all have the same options as me.
The new problem is, the PS2 doesn't have any option for FTP. I opened HDL Dumb but it said "The device...
Hmm the link doesn't work, I tried to get it off dropbox, but looks like Free Mcboot is required. The thing is, I don't even know what's in my PS2.
When I press Select in the main menu "Game Compatibility Settings" pop up and there is option named "Kill HDL after launch". So Does that mean I...
Thank you very much for your reply. I don't think I can get HDD enclosure now, I'll have to resort to FTP. Let me try that hdldumb and get back to you, hope I can make it work.
Hello all,
It appears the HDD is outside, it's not connected to USB port, it uses that PS2 HDD expansion bay.
I don't know what's installed in the device, it simply boots up to a game list, but I saw this Matrix logo (mine is a bit grayer, though) while booting:
According to Google that's...
i gotta say, the steam deck isn't a bad deal, even if you get a used one, you have options to get it serviced and the parts are also available through ifixit
