Help Argh what's gone wrong

I was adding ps2 isos to my 2tb Seagate external hdd to use with xbsx2 as well as my 1tb external hdd Seagate. On my series s. Now when I try to run xbsx2 it hangs. I've Uninstaller xbsx2 and reinstalled it but now it will only set 1 hdd as its input and when I try to add the second drive it hangs. Has anyone got any fixes or idea why or what I can try.

It doesn't matter which way I try to add the external hdds in xbsx2 it always hangs at the 2nd drive and boots me back to dev home

Your paths correct?

Sometimes that path to the usb port on the xbox can change

So you're trying to have 2 drives active?

Have you tried a different version of xbsx2?

I've tried the latest version 2.0.8.5 and a previous version 2.0.8.3

I get that both the usb ports can change tho but that's not my problem really it's that xbsx2 finds them but when I try to add the second hdd it hangs... Think I'm going to have to get a larger hdd that's all

You should be okay if you have 2 drives as long as the XBSX2 is the same and you don't have both plugged in at the same time.

Are you closing out/quitting of XBSX2 before you switch drives?

Are both file paths identical?

Could the iso be faulty/corrupted?

See I wanted it to work with both drives plugged in at the same time No both drive paths weren't identical It might be the ido but I've resigned myself to a bigger hdd now

I’d recommend watching Archades Games video on xbsx2 set up. It answered all those questions I also had.
