Yeah, I ended up falling asleep instead of updating again yesterday.

The Seagate 120gb HDD I was trying to get working with HDLoader never did work again. After finding out a Seagate 6.4gb HDD I had lying around worked fine, I ended up exchanging it for a Maxtor 120gb early in the afternoon. Thankfully, the Maxtor drive has been working with it without problems today, except that the load time for the HDLoader menu seems slightly abnormally long. It works fine once it's there, though.

Going to toy with it some more, so I'll put off writing about the weekend for just a bit longer. =p
