Ok, I just had a friend mail me his harddrive for the ps2. Well, I bought a used ps2 from eb games and am now trying to play FFXI on it. I already have a POL ID and crap, so just ignore that.
The problem I'm having is that when I click on the Playonline Viewer to go to play the game, it starts to load and then just goes back to the main screen where you'd select the HDD. Then, when I went to try to reinstall POL viewer, it said there was a hardware error.
I went to http://www.us.playstation.com and they said that the only way that I can use the harddrive on this ps2 is if I reformatted it...well, the n00b forgot to send the harddrive disc, so I can't reformat it...yet...
But, does anyone know if there is another way that I can reformat the HDD without that specific disc? Eb games and Gamespot have pennyskewed harddrives, meaning that they don't sell them anymore, which means they don't have any discs, so going to them for help isn't an option.
Thanks in advance
