(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ok i am gonna show you how to make ANY ps3 harddrive work in your ps3 without formatting it so you dont loose info on it. this is great for someone who got a new ps3 and wants to use their old hdd in it.

Here is another way to do it. If YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS METHOD TELL ME ILL HELP THE BEST I CAN THIS SHOULD WORK. I HAVE TESTED ON MULTIPLE CONSOLES. put your real hdd in the system and go into the system restore menu (hold power until turns on and off, then hold again until two beeps) then have nothing else in your console usb wise and then go to system update and press start and select then change your hdd and let it go for a couple of seconds.. then shut the system off and turn it on again with the new hdd still in it and the hdd will work!!




hdd seagate - toshiba now
firmware 3.41 - 3.55 now
60gb - 500 gb now [/COLOR]


AND UR DONE Claps

Hey i just did this on my ps3 that has 3.55 CFW and i tried to use an HDD that is lower than 3.55. and it came up with a screen that said "the system software cant be run correctly,try to restart the sytem.then it says"if the system cant be restarted, i must reformat and install 3.55 or later" do i just install 3.55 or does that mean my HDD is corrupted?

Is it possible vice versa?
Like what i mean is i get my HDD from second PS3 into hack. Add some hacks to it, and then put it back into the other PS3. I remember that you don't reformat it if it's the same exact PS3 HDD
that would be sweet

alright what i mean is this.
Hack PS3 and nonhack
say we had them both on the same FW. From my understanding and testing before you don't have to format a HDD of a PS3 if you remove it and put it back in (same console removed and same one putting it back in)

Now hack PS3 has no HDD
Nonhack does

take out nonhack and put it in hacked using this method
alright now would i have to format it if i wanted to place it back into my other ps3 (nonhack)???

short i want to put hacks on my nonhack PS3 HDD and put it back into the nonhack PS3 without formating.
