Use Sony 40 Gig Hard drive as a PC IDE Drive

Brendan Long · 03-31-2005,03:53 PM

Is there a way to format the Sony PS2 hard drive to use as a regular PC hard drive? I would like to just be able to use the Sony drive as a regular drive, but it doesn't recognize in Windows (yet).
Thanks,
BL

This is assuming you have the hard drive installed in your pc and you have winxp.

-Go to control panel
-Click on administrative tools
-Click on computer management
-Under storage, click on disk management
-on this screen, you should see the hard drive under the name of disk1 or something other than disk0
-right click on the partition and format

You should be able to use it now. I might have forgotten some steps though.

Nah, youve pretty much got it.
