Welcome to DK.

Its a common problem which there are solutions for on here. What you need to do first now that you've made 1 post is download sysCheck19 and post a report as instructed in that link so I can see which IOS's you have installed.

That sysCheck doesn't look to bad apart from you have d2x-v7final install you need to install d2x v8 Final wad pack

If you want to remove IOS16 stub then install my cIOS16-v257.wad it won't cure you problem but it will get rid of that stub.

Have any games worked on your drive? You don't say how its formatted FAT32, NTFS or WBFS and what you used to add the game onto the drive?

Is your drive compatible?

There are threads where the hard drive isn't recognised if you search.
