removing a partition from the HDD

**tha_toadman** · 12-20-2005,11:39 AM

So I have this folder on my HDD called "+MP3". I must have created it sometime ago while using Reality or the other media player. Well last night, I went in through PS2 OS to try and delete it but it didn't work. I then FTP'ed into the HDD and sure enough, that didn't work either. How does a person remove a PFS parition/folder? I can't see it through HDL_Dump either.

My ultimate goal is to either rename that directory to 'PGEN' or 'ROMS' for the sega games (roms) or else to just delete it and recreate a new one. Any ideas as to what I could do or programs for my exploit that I could/should use? Thanks.

Well you could use dms hdd utility that can delete paritions you dont need a dms chip to use it its just an elf file or use hdd utility 1.1 for ps2 just do a google search its out there somewere i always use it when i get parition problems

awesome! ok thanks for the info

..yeah i just wasn't sure if you had to have a DMS chip or not on that. btw, their website (dms3) under 'downloads', the links aren't working but yeah i'll definitely google for it or else just post a request for the file(s) here.

thanks again!

The hdd utility 1.1 i was on about was not by dms3 team its by someone were not alowed to mention on this forum

so i tried the 'hdd format tool' 1.1 today over my lunch hour and it didn't work...? i'm using 'keylauncher' and it just said "loading from memory card..." and just hung there. i think i'll try various versions until i get one that works. i really don't need the *patched* one though as i'm running a 120 gb HDD.

Try using launchelf as your BOOT.ELF. I've had no problems running the DMS format tool from it.

**tha_toadman** · 12-20-2005,04:44 PM

i'm going to try the DMS hdd format 1.0 and 1.1 versions from the site itself tonight. the files i was having issues with earlier (on their site) i think were different than what i needed. anyway, if keylauncher gives me further issues, then i guess i'll have to switch to 'launchelf' on my extra memory card

quick update - I got it guys. the ...hard drive format tool 1.1 from their website worked like a charm (unlike the patched one here that I d/l'ed). i appreaciate all your help!
