HDD trouble..just got it!
Hey guys, just got my HDD and I cant play any of my backup games. It tells me to "Please insert a PS2 format disk"

Anyway around this? Does the HDD automatically turn off my mod?

I got a Magic V. Please help.

THanks


Edit: Please please please ,dont tell me I have to take my HDD out everytime I need to play a backup. Please.

someone else suggested to remove the memorycard before turn ps2 on and put it back after game loads, because updated drivers save in memorycard.

that sucks, because, I was reading that people played Outbreak on a regular HDD on the PS2.

How did they skip the mod chip?

Ironically I have a DMS3 chip with the latest flash upgrade, and for some reason games that were working just fine before without the HDD are now not working. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, no man. Sorry, didn't mean to alarm. I meant before I put in my HDD the games worked fine, then I put in the HDD and bam, none of em work now, lol. I get the RSOD.
