Official HDD won't show up in Browser.

I hope this hasn't been answered, I couldn't find it when I searched. Saw someone else ask about it, but no real answer.

I have the official Sony HDD, and I've been using HD Advance 2.0. I was transfering GT4 using HDL DUmb and realized the image wasn't complete, so I stopped the transfer and fixed it and had a bad partition error when I tried to send it, so I deleted the bad one from the HD, with ftp and using HD advance. I got the game on there fine, but now my HD won't show up in my browser, and my PS2 loads up automatically to the browser. I wouldn't really care except I had saved games stored on the HD, and I need to have access to them. I don't want to use the utility disc to reformat since I will lose those saved games.

Anyone know what to do?

I did everything on the utility disc except for Format and nothing happens. It doesn't show any errors that need repairing. And again, I don't want to format, that won't solve my main issue of accessing my saved games on the HDD.

that is the only way it will show up in the browser.
it has been formatted to work with hdloader/advance so it wont come up on the main browser screen.

no chip, just been using the mc exploit. I mounted the common file, and I see the saves, though it's hard to tell what all of them are. I guess it's ok as long as I have access to them. It'll just be a pain to transfer games to the HD to save space on the MC.

Any ideas why the PS2 launches to the browser? It doesn't matter what disk or memory cards I have in the system, always starts in the browser. I have to launch disks from there, they don't load automatically.

Ha... that's pretty funny... never ever heard of that before... the browser coming up like that... start a new thread about it and you'll get ur answer...

But yeah you should reformat the drive... thats about the only way I'd think... the same thing happened to mine (cept I ain't got an official one) and I had to reformat to get things back on track...
