this method only works for the fat ps2's only. if you have a slimline ps2 then sony corrected the exploit that allows you to do this
this video was requested. it shows how the ps2 harddrive works and how to put it in your computer
what you need: an IDE harddrive (maxtor or seagate works best. ive got a maxtor diamondback or whatever its called), the online adaptor and hdloader. hdloader can only be found on the internet so google it. if youre interested in my setup then you need the original hdloader then you can go to ps2hd.com and find all the other programs
if youre interested in doing cogswap (play burned games without a chip) then also search that site for the ps2 exploit disc and cogswap.
each harddrive is different and can require differnt jumper settings. look on your harddrive to figue out what is cs or check te company's website
where you put your harddrive on the ide cable matters. when i first installed a secondary harddrive in my computer i had to shift my original harddrive down one position to make room for the secondary and allow it to take the secondary position on the ide cable. if you switch them then your computer will tell you "cannot find primary harddrive" and will not boot.
one thing that i didnt mention is that you should also ground yourself after grounding the computer. your body can carry static electricity and if it gets discharged inside of your computer you can destroy components like RAM, the motherboard or even harddrives. to ground yourself touch a part of the metal casing of your computer.
this site has all the ELFs and tutorials that you will need to be able to do this. exploitstation.com/articles/articles.html
this will continue to be updated as i find more things that i forgot to say
