Recently I received an error while loading hdloader. It said my HD needs to be reformatted, I don't know why I got that message so I just accepted it. After that I went to use winhiip to reinstall the games and winhiip told me there were some errors on the HD but that were fixable. After I hit yes winhiip crashed.

I would like to know what is the proper way to format a HD to install my games again I dont' remember how I did it the first time

your hdd may be a dud. try formatting it to a normal hdd with diskmgmt.msc. if it works, reformat in winhiip and see if it crashes.

ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8b - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 3.90 m33-3
nintendo ds: limited edition zelda gold

got a whole lot more to list . . .

Never had that happen to me, but it's probably a safe bet to let windows reformat the drive first before you let winhiip do it.

Try following this guide.

Well, we're both suggesting you let windows reformat the drive first. Follow the guide I posted. Then, if your drive is above 128 GB, Winhiip should suggest the 48-bit. Other than that, try to full format in Winhiip once windows finishes formatting it. If it still doesn't work, you may want to get a drive testing utility to see if there is hardware damage of any kind.

I formatted the HD to ntfs then went to format the HD with winhiip in quick mode using the application 28bit and it works just fine now but I would like to know what are the other applications for is it more compatibility, speed?

48bit is to break the 128gb barrier. toxicOS is unknown to me.
