Usb Hdd Problem on pstwo slim SCHP-77004

[TnA]

"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".

Think you've missed the point, that he talks about usb-hdd.

i use winhiip on pc to format the hdd and then put a game on to the disk

Winhiip is not the correct program to use for a USB HDD.
Instead you should use "ul_format.exe" to format the disk, and "ul_install.exe" to install games on it thereafter.

then i plug it in the ps2 and open the program hdloader/hddmanager

I've never heard of any program named HddManager, but if you mean the subprogram built into uLaunchELF (aka: uLE), then it is naturally unable to see any USB HDD, since it is only designed to handle IDE HDDs.

As for HDLoader, that too is designed only for IDE HDDs, so you need to use USBAdvance instead.

its saying that there are no Usb Hdd connected...?? what do i do wrong ?

You are consistently using the wrong software, intended for other hardware.

*tried launchelf but it cant see it too

If you format the HDD correctly (using ul_format.exe on a PC), then uLE will be able to 'see' it, though not as "hdd0:" (since that is the IDE HDD) but as "mass:" (since that is the name used for any USB mass storage unit, whether HDD or something else).
