Bad problem burning discs.

I'm trying to use the memory card exploit to run HDloader at startup, but can't get this thing working... I edited title.db, loaded all of the correct files into CDgen, and created the CD image. I put SwapMagic into the PS2, and swapped it for the new CD that I'd just created, and it didn't work at all. The CD started spinning WAY too fast (5x faster than normal), and got really loud, but then stopped. So I decided to try using CD_Loader to boot it, but when I burned CD_Loader, I got the same problem. The only CD that I've been able to get working is a PS2OWNZ HDloader (225MB) that I downloaded on BitTorrent. I tried making another copy of the HDloader that I got off BT, but it just did the same as all of the others... So far I've only been able to write one CD successfully. I've tried using both Nero, and Alcohol 120%, but haven't been able to get it working... I forget the exact settings I used when I made the working Hdloader, but I'm pretty sure that It was the "Playstation 2" mode in the dropdown menu... I even went out to Staples today and bought some Maxell CD-R Pro's, when I though that it was the fault of the CDs that I was using... I just want to get this HDloader exploit working... Any ideas?

Burn DVDLoader instead. Put in your SM DVD, EA swap for DVDLOADER,CHANGE DISC SCREEN= EJECT, PUT IN SW CD, it will take a couple of times til it catches, IT'LL SAY PS2 CD left hand corner, EA Swap for your CD and press X. If it doesn't load up, EJECT, and put your SMCD back in. It usually takes two times before it will boot. Swap Magic CD 's REALLY suck on V9 PS2's.

I put PS2 Keylauncher on my memcard to avoid this frustration. Just push one button and Cogswap is already to go.

Well, I finally burned a working version of CD_Loader (Runs 1/3 times), and was able to boot the ExecFTP disc using it... From there I just did all of the dirty work over FTP, rather than trying to load it into the MC on a disc. Now I've got PS2-Menu working fine, and don't even need my SwapDisk for anything anymore. :P

Thanks alot, meg. :)
