David, I have done everything according to the YDL installation manual. I have fully formatted my HDD once, and did a handful of quick formats before I started partitioning the HDD. I have also used a USB drive for the self/bld file and also made a CDR copy of those 2 files. Everything is copying correctly, but I believe it might be my HDD. Can I use a partition software to manually do that? Jim

On the PS3 there are two different "partition the hard disk" concepts. It's confusing I know, but that's the way Sony made it. Probably to keep pirates out of the GameOS partition. If you have followed the YDL install instructions, you would know how to do this. The GameOS needs to be used first to partition the hard disk into two partitions. One of these will be 10 GB, the other will be the rest. There is no other choice in sizes. From these two partitions, one will be for the GameOS, the other will be for what Sony calls "Other OS", in this case, YDL. Either one of these two partitions can be the 10 GB one, you choose this at the time you do this. Once this step is complete, the GameOS will never see the Other OS partition, and the Other OS will never see tho GameOS partition. Then you start installing the Other OS, it only sees it's part of the hard drive, but you will need to partition and format that part as needed by the Other OS. If you have not followed the YDL install directions, and used the GameOS to split the hard drive into two parts, then YDL will not have anywhere to install itself. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
