HDLoader 0.8c with 320 WD HDD

**darthkamikaz3** · 03-01-2010,10:41 AM

i have 2 WD HDD..both have the same content..as the other one is a backup of the first in case something happens to the hdd.

now the 1st HDD is just working fine..it loads normally when i boot to HDLoader..but when i tried the backup HDD..it loads way way longer than the 1st HDD. So i was thinking, maybe because it hasn't scanned the gamelist. since i haven't plugged it in my ps2 for a very long time..

so i tried reloading HDLoader with the backup HDD..it still boots longer like it still scans for the games. I tried it 3 times with the same result.

Has anyone here encountered this kinda prob? or anyone who can help me out with this before i try to format it and copy the 1st HDD which is gonna take a while..

ignore my signature since i now use 320WD HDDs

im still using my good old 39001 PS2 with DMS 4 Pro

how much longer does it take? I use a 250 gig WD, hadnt used it for a while and when i booted it up yesterday it took a while to load(bout 30 secs-1 minute) which is normal(depending on how many games you have on your hd, i have only 20 gigs left on it). If loading time is excessive(5 minutes or more) then you really have a problem, wouldnt worry too much if loading time is a minute at most.

the 1st HDD only takes about 25 - 35 secs to load the gamelist while the Backup HDD takes a lot longer maybe 1min or more..

are both discs exactly the same?It could be that the second disc has a lower reading speed than your first one. 1 minute isnt so bad though.

their both 320 Western Digital 8mb Cache [WD3200AAJB]

odd. What program did you use to format your second HDD to ps2 format? you could try reformatting your second hdd again.

i only use WINHIIP..when i installed the games..i copied the entire HDD to the backup hdd using WINHIIP's copy entire disc..

I have used it before when i only had 160GB..it gave me no issues at all..

you could try and compile the latest rev of open ps2 loader to use that it loads really quickly
