    HDD Utility Disc and PSBBN won't format a non-Sony HDD. They scan for Sony's custom HDD firmware, and any drive that doesn't have it is not detected by the HDD support. Only the 40 GB hard drives from Sony have the required firmware. No other size is available.

    I know someone who has a PS2 with a 120g HDD. It's the ugliest thing you'll ever look at. lol

    Im pretty sure if you dig enough into the internet you could find the firmware, i just looked for it about 2 minutes and found traces of it, if i find anything i'll post it.

    Word of Interest:

    I made a VM with better specs then a PS2. I now have a computer inside my 4 yr old Vista (no hardware upgrades) with XP on it that runs FF better than my Vista. VMWare isn't new, it isn't hard to use, no need to buy a Windows 7 CPU except as a host unit for the VM. And you can get perfectly acceptable ones for the same price of most consoles.

    It's more than just the HDD, the ram on the ps2 is laughable by today's standards.
