How to fit a WD drive into sony's network adapater?

I have a perfectly fine 80gb WD drive lying around and it just misses the network slots by a tiny bit , is there some modification I can so that it fits? I really don't want to spend 100 for another hardrive..

 

Take off the metal plate on the Network adaptor. Once that is off you need a torx 6 i think it is. You can get them at any hardware store real cheap. Unscrew the power plug with the torx 6 and it will fit. I have a WD also.

 

god bless you that did it

 

Now that your drive fits in there how do you get hdloader/hdadvance to recognize it?

I had this problem all weekend where either program would tell me that the drive is not there, when it actually was.

 

Did you try doing a ps2 format on your pc first using winhiip?

 

Well I gave up on the WD a few days ago and tried that last night with a 160gb Maxtor. It still isn't recognized by the PS2, so I'll try it now with the WD and see where that gets me.

 

what is a 'WD harddrive" ??

 

Western Digital

 

Did you guys remember to set the drive as master? you can
do that by removing the pin from the back , it's small and
white or follow the directions from the drive manufacterer. I
think since you guys had it connected to your pc fro winihp it
was set to slave.

Btw I hate sony , it took me 6 hardware stores to find a size 6
corx scew driver ;(

but everything done it work beutifully.
