Just wanted to say thanks to everyone directly and indirectly for helping

Had probs with hdloader not booting, but from reading up on here found out it was faplink that had buggered up my HD so bought a usb caddy & used winhiip or whatever it's called, but then the image i put on didn't boot cause probs with mounting in the menu part, but again a little bit of reading on here and i got past that and now playing NFSU2 off the HDD so many thanks peeps & believe me the search function on here works nicely
