PS1/2 Problem with HDL Dump Helper GUI

[skydancer93]

I have a 2TB SATA formatted and I put a list of games on there. Ever since then, it seems that HDL Dumper Helper refused to connect to the drive saying "the chosen hdd isn't hdl_dump compatible" when I JUST PUT GAMES TO IT!!!! It's connected directly to my Windows 7 PC internally, so at this point, I'm at a loss of what to do. Can't use WinHIIP and HDL Dumb can detect it just fine, but it seems strange as certain ISO's read the same title(ala not refresh when selecting another ISO).

This might help. It's another alternative that bypasses the 256 games-limit without requiring Java. It still has the character limit for the name of the game, but that could just be the PS2 itself having a limit on partition names.
