Click to expand.My PS2 is modded with Matrix Infinity and a 80GB Samsung HD. All i need to do was to enter the modchip settings menu and enable the Auto ATAD Patching mode. Then with the HDD Utility Disc 1.10, i formatted and installed the Browser 2.0. The PS2 recognizes the HDD on startup (yellow led blinks beside the controller ports) and the browser 2.0 is loaded. This way the HDD shows up on the PS2 browser and i can backup PS1 and PS2 saves and use the options for games with official HDD option (example: RE Outbreak File 1 and 2 install, ESPN NBA2K5 install, Socom 2 extra maps.).
Of course i can only use those stuff offline. To play online, i have to turn off the modchip, thus not making the HDD visible. Plus all HDLoader games installed show up, but you can't load them from there.

People mentioned my name here. Let me say what I know about this stuff. First, it's a well known fact that SONY HDDs use customized firmware. I have seen HDDs from the following families: Maxtor 4D040H2 ('Romulus' DSP family) Commercial name is 'Diamond MAX' This drive I know fairly well. Few years ago I was able to extract it's firmware, locate DNAS authentication data and match it with the S/N sticker. Quantum/Maxtor 2F04L07103 with POKER D8 CPU Seagate ST340015A (low profile model) Seagate ST340823A, some 40GB model from U5 series (of the kind that comes with the rubber jacket) Actually this is the earliest model of HDD. Heard comments of this drive being quite noisy.
I happen to own one of each model of drives with the only exception being the U5 Seagate. The custom firmware has ATA commands specific to SCEI which pertain to software security and drive authentication. Non DNAS titles (games that install data but still require the disc to boot) should run fine on hard disks without custom firmware as long the ATAD IRX module is patched properly. So will work the browser with just that patching. Hence the utility disc working fine with an ATAD compatible modchip.
Final Fantasy XI uses DNAS and secure PFS. The only way I could extract files from it was with a RAW FS dump and a lot of 'forensics' analysis. Putting files back in is out of question, sadly. If anyone is interested, a full dump of *all* 167 FFXI songs as of the lattest update (april 2009) can be found here: Songs have no tags and are numbered as the game reads them. By the way, the PFS look similar to linux filesystems. I suspect it's based on Reiser FS, but again I'm not a software guy.

If anyone here deals with data recovery and knows about these russian data recovery software tools such as PC3000 and similar software (HDD firmware tools) and wish to lend a hand on figuring out how these drives work I'm up for helping. Assembler, the APA partition system is based on the concept of an unlimited number of partitions with minimal granularity of 128MB. What I have seen is they create small (128, 256 or 512 MB) partitions for small games/programs or create multiple 1024MB blocks and a smaller last block then bind them together on a single file system. The PSF filesystem sits in a higher layer of the software and is driven by it's own driver which in turns sits atop of the APA/ATAD drivers.
