    I'm confused... winhip says i have a 189gb drive, 124gb used, with 4gb free, 0gb fragmentation...

    It says HDLoader 24bit.

    Where is all the rest of my space?

    HDAdvance says i have 96gb free out of 189gb!

    When i click on Options, i see you can click on either 28bit, 48bit, or toxic.

    Anybody have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    If i was to buy hdadvance 3.0, could i install it over itself?

    Like, keep my games on the drive and just instal 3.0....

    Or would i have to copy the games to a different drive and then format my ps2 drive and then transfer the games back over...?

    Ok nevermind... i changed it from 24bit to 48bit and now it says i have 65gb free space... sweet. 30gb are still fragmented though, i need to get ahold of that stupid ps2 hdd utility disc.

    I called sony and they said they dont have them to give out and i would have to contact a local electronics store.

    ?

    ***Nevermind, i found a place to download it but everyone says it only works on the original ps2 hard drive.

    So i just have 30gb of fragmented space i cant free up? Thats crap!

    _______________________________

    **********ok

    I just installed 4 new games, and winhiip took from the "fragmented" space instead of the free space.

    Problem completely solved.

    You went through all that when all you had to to is ...damn. But seriously, don't ever waste your money on ANY hdadvance. The "new" versions are just ripsoff's of the hdloader patches.

    i think a program called partition magic might be able to help you with your hd problem

    I really would suggest you DON'T use partition magic on your ps2 hdd. But that's just my suggestion.

    when installing images with winhiip, it uses the fragmented space first.
