Are you high?
(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

I tried it and it didn't work - I don't know whether it is just because I did it wrong, or it has been patched :(

Format a HDD and then connect itto a PC and someone that is jb can upload their HDD files and we just transfer it to the HDD and connect it to the Ps3 with this method?" or since the hdd wont be encryted with the ps3 encryt it wont work? You never kno? Idk i some one has tried it..

This is bullshit he even said he was using SPOOFER on 355 there was no problems using a different hard drive on 355. people this shit dont work on any higher than 355..... and you dont need to do any of what he has said if you on 355. its a plug and play when your on 355.

Will this work if i put the HDD from my YLOD FAT PS3 3.55 Kmeaw to Slim PS3 3.55 Kmeaw...? I don't have a Slim, but if i buy one... I don't wanna lose the data from the old HDD - it's 640GB and is almost full...

it isnt m3
This means I can access content of a 3.70 hdd to copy my act files? That'd be awesome.
