*And the menu keep writtin Please Wait... nothing happens

i use winhiip on pc to format the hdd and then put a game on to the disk then i plug it in the ps2 and open the program hdloader/hddmanager its saying that there are no Usb Hdd connected...?? what do i do wrong ?

*tried launchelf but it cant see it too

My Pstwo slim is with Crystal chip 2.0 and BM v2.1.6 working with all the burned "backupgames" i have...

EDIT: I can see the hdd in bm but in launchelf it just nothing

I havent tried getting usbadvance on my ps2 bc i cant burn ps2 games in vista...

Really hopes someone can help me

you are missing the point of using usbadvance/usbextreme

USBAdvance/USBExtreme : use for USB HDD (External HDD)

HDA/HDL :uses for Internal HDD

so you cannot use winHIIP to format the hdd to use for usbdvacen/usbexterem
..

here is a guide for usbadvance/usbextreme :

Can i get in to the usb hdd and launch usbadvance ?? i can't burn it out

**amp2006** · 05-11-2008,07:18 AM

yes but you still need to burn uLaunchELF and why you cannot burn it out ?

**Xreec** · 05-11-2008,07:23 AM

I have vista and i cannot get it to work... it worked with winxp
and in LaunchELF i can't get in contact with the usb hdd

EDIT: i have firmware 32 in maybe i should update to 34 v2 ??

what do you mean you cannot burn with vista ?

**Xreec** · 05-11-2008,04:29 PM

all the games, apps i burn out with vista installed on my pc they don't work but then i install winxp it work... maybe nero isn't so good in vista

"Can't see" is not a suficient description of exactly what you have tried to do...
(´Drive select strap settings, APA formatting, etc)

Be aware that uLaunchELF (aka: "uLE") is not able to show a normal HDD directory unless the disk has been formatted with the PS2 specific APA partition system. The only part of uLE that can recognize (and format) a 'raw' disk is the subprogram "MISC/HddManager".

, by the way what is bm2.0..???

That is a BootManager specific to the crystal mod chip, so if you don't have such a chip you can't use it.
