Download free mcboot hdd install#
TL DR: I've reformatted both drives multiple times, used the FHDB noobie image on both drives as well as manual install with the same problem, however the vash32 hdd dump works perfectly and so does FMCB.
One drive is a Hitachi 7200rpm 80GB drive and the other is a Maxtor (I think 5400rpm) 80GB drive. Granted both are older IDE drives but they seem to work fine for literally everything else but FHDB. Thanks for the info guys, I'll try the HDDChecker elf and see if it finds anything just in case, however I think it's unlikely to be a hard drive problem as I've tried this on 2 drives now with the same results, both freshly formatted. Had anyone seen this problem? I haven't even seen a screenshot online of the same thing, so I'm wondering what is so unique about my console. Everything works perfectly including playing backups off the HDD with OPL, so there's clearly no problem with my HDD adaptor.įor peace of mind though, I'd like to have FHDB and OPL installed internally as a backup so that if my memory card goes bad or is lost, I can still use the console and easily create another FMCB memory card.Įvery guide I've read says to just use the FMCB installer to install FHDB, which I did, but I always get the same result. I can boot FMCB perfectly fine using a memory card, including using the menu, loading uLaunchElf, OPL, etc. However I can press X which opens the memory card browser (which happens to be the first menu option if the menu were displayed correctly), so it clearly seems to work but for some reason won't load the menu options. The "Free HDBoot" text which is usually at the top of the screen is in the middle, there are no menu options, and if I press up or down the console freezes and must be hard reset. The problem: When I install FHDB to my fat scph-50001 PS2's internal HDD using the latest FMCB installer or using the noobie hdd image, the PS2 will boot fine, show the Free McBoot Logo, drop me into the menu that says "Free HDBoot" and "Use arrows to browse list" except there is no list.
I hope someone here has seen this before. I've been searching online for 2 days about this issue, and I haven't found a single post of another person with this problem.
