When formatting a drive for HDLoader it is quite acceptable to reduce all the partition sizes to 0Mb, except the "_mbr" and "HDLoader Settings" partitions, as these are not required for HDLoader to work correctly. The editable partition name field allows you to create one extra partition for your own use with other software.Īny partition sizes set to 0Mb will not be created. The Toxic OS mode will change all the default partition sizes to 0Mb and enable the Toxic OS Mode options which allow you to select Standard or Extended partitioning mode.

The Application setting has three options: Partial Erases the first 4Mb of each possible partition / image header block.

Quick Erases just the required sectors to blank the partitions and image header sectors.This will erase the hard drive and create the default partition structure on the currently selected drive. If you haven't formatted the HDD yet, you can do so now by pressing the "Format Drive" button.There is also HDLGameInstaller which will install games through network or from disk. IMPORTANT: some users report issues using WinHIIP with OPL, A program to copy disc images directly to a PS2 hard drive (APA/PFS).
