I had FreeHDBoot working well using WinHiip to load the files fine on a 1TB fine. I put that on my Xbox and wanted to upgrade to an extra 2TB drive I have around. So when I tried to format my 2TB using Winhiip, it fails because it thinks the size is negative. Anyone know how I can format a 2TB drive for PS2 use?
Edit: Note I know I can use PS2 apps to format the drive, but my PS2 1TB with FreeHDBoot is now in my Xbox. The PS2 is mod chipped though and I just want to get FreeMCBoot working again since I didn't make a MC card with it while I had FreeMCBoot. Can I burn an install disc for FreeMCBoot onto a DVD and run it to make a FMCB memory card?
EDIT: I was able to get FreeMCBoot installed by burning a copy of ULE on a DVD and making the card off that. Now I just need to format the 2TB drive. What PS2 tool is there? I found something for Windows called HDL Dumper GUI, but it requires Java, and when I install Java, it doesn't seem to recognize the installation. Do I need a certain version of it?
Oka was able to get ULE 2TB running and format the drive. Also HDL Dumper seems to be starting correctly. But when I run HDL Dump or HDL Dump Helper it states there are no compatible drives. I have all drives disabled in disk management but the one with my ISOs and the PS2 drive. Not sure why it isn't seeing it. I have it connected directly to the MOBO and it shows up in disk management on my PC.
