How TO setup haddisk in ps2

Please help me

guess he don't want the info anymore. :o

Well we will give him a few more days, if no reply then, i will close the thread!

I m having slim one, plz can anyone tell me how to install hard disk

well this can be done just follow all this ,its a lot for doing it the first time,but second time,its like nothing :)

what you need:
1. An official PS2 network adapter.
2. A Suitable hard disk. You can use the official hard disk or a standard IDE hard disk drive with a capacity of 40GB/80GB/120GB/200GB(only HDAdvance 3.0 can support 200GB harddisk). If you use a standard IDE drive, you will need to make sure that it actually fits into your network adapter. Most Western Digital drives do not physically fit onto the PS2 network adapter without some modification, so we recommend that you stay clear of this brand. There are also issues with some modern Seagate drives, which cause problems when used in conjunction with older models of the official PS2 network adapter. We recommend using a Maxtor or Hitachi brand harddisk with HDAdvance. If HDAdvance freezes at the splash screen for you, then it is due to the conflict mentioned above. In order to resolve this you will either need to purchase a new hard disk drive or network adapter.
3. A PS2 with a "Bay-Type" expansion port. All PS2's will have this expansion port except for the first three Japanese models (SCPH 10000, SCPH 15000 and SCPH 18000) which have a PCMCIA expansion port instead. These models are not supported by HDAdvance.

how to install the HD:PS2 hd or IDE HD

If you have an official PS2 hard disk drive, then please install it according to the directions in its manual. If you will be using a standard IDE hard disk drive, then please make sure that the hard disk drive you intend to connect to your PS2 will actually fit into your network adapter.

Check that the IDE and power ports on your hard disk drive properly align with the IDE and power connectors on your network adapter.

Configure the jumper setting on the hard disk drive so it is set to MASTER. To find the correct jumper settings for your hard disk drive, either check the label on top of the hard disk drive or consult your reference manual.
Attach the hard disk drive to the network adapter by lining up the IDE and power ports/connectors and pressing firmly.
Carefully slide the hard disk drive into the PS2 expansion bay as shown below. Push until the network adapter is connected to the back of your PS2, then screw in the screws on the back of the network adapter to secure the hard disk drive and network adapter. Congratulations, you have successfully connected a hard disk drive to your PS2.

Next step:
-Using HDAdvance

At the main screen, you can see a list of files currently converted on your hard disk and an Options menu which you may use to start playing a game, convert a new game, delete or relabel an existing game. At any point, either the File List Panel or the Options Panel is in focus. Use the left and right buttons on our controller to switch between the File List Panel and Options Panel in order to select files or perform any action (Run, Convert, Delete, Relabel).
