Noob needs advice

I have two ps2's a v3 (laser not working) and a v10 (bought to replace v3),non are chipped but i have installed a 80gig hd in the v10 running off hd advance,now all would be fine except my two young boys have taken a keen interest in my ps2 and i want it back lol, so what i wanted to know is could i install hdadvance to the hd so that it doesn't need the disc? if i could i would then put the hd in my other ps2 so i could have mine back,it would also give me an excuse to get that 200 gig maxtor i've had my eye on.

Nope thats impossible, you cannont boot a hd boot disc off an hd, sorry. Concider buying a laser for he v3, hell they sure cost less than a hard drive...

is there a way around this?, like loading hd advance to the memory card instead?? so i could boot from that.

Hi,

wrathofpyro is right, you can't get around it, hd advance can't be copied so your best bet is to buy a new copy, the latest version is 3.0 which has better compatilbilty and supports DVD 9 games as well so if you are still using version 2 or 2.1 it would be a better choice anyway, we sell it ourselves, check out www.estormuk.com
