I had my PS2 for quite a while. I tried to play CD's i bought and it went fine, but the ones i made by dragging the files over the CD, the PS2 said i needed a PlayStation format disc. I don't know what's causing this because i putted my CD which was formatted in Windows 7 PC but when i got this CD in for the first time i got this:
I chose "Like a USB flash drive" and continued on with the files. I putted music, photos etc. And PS2 can't detect that.
Also i see someone saying that screen is a creepypasta and scary thing but infact im not scared of that. It wasn't defective from anything, I did take care of this console my best.

There's your problem right there. The PS2 can't read that format. If you select "With a CD/DVD player" instead, it should work.
