Bad APA Partition Table.. Help

**JacksonDane** · 03-07-2005,06:43 PM

I've tried searching everywhere with little results.. if anyone can give me a hand it would be appreciated

I have a 120gb maxtor HDD in my unmodded PS2 with HDLoader

I followed the tutorial on this forum to be able and network my PS2 with HDL_Dumb... everything worked perfectly and I was able to transfer ISOs from my PC to PS2 no problem...

So things were going great until during a transfer of Tekken 5. The ISO was only about half way transferred when "THE TRANSFER IS FINISHED" window popped up, I thought it was odd but the game showed up on my HDD and played (except for Jin's minigame and the tekken 1-3 arcade ports all lead to black screens). So I was OK with the whole thing, I then tried to transfer over Katamari Damacy when I click attach the following message pops up in a window "Bad APA Partition Table"... I can hear the HDD spin right before error pops up. I have about 18gb still free and now am unable to connect to the HDD...

I am still able to install from the HDLoader disc and play all my games that were on their previously

Anyone got any info?

I feel like a fool

After running a spanish PS2 site thru babble fish I was able to figure out that you just have to remove any corrupt title (for me it would have been Tekken 5 the last installed game) and then you're fine. It worked for me.

I have this same problem as well, however, before I could delete the corrupt images, they seemed to have disappear so I can't access them anymore. And I'm still getting the "bad APA partition table"
