Okay so I have 2 ps3's (long story as to why, but both i got cheap and used so oh well)

one is 250 and one is 160 gb so I thought, ill take my 250gb and stick it in the newer 160 GB ps3 and take that one to school with me. leave the older/ now smaller one with my GF for netflix etc.


However, when i stuck the 250gb in it wants me to format even though it's already formatted to a ps3, just not this one.

So fearing loosing all my data i threw the 160gb back in, which now said the same thing!


So now i have 2 ps3's neither of which have a Hard drive. and neither of which can run anyy HDD without formatting.....




Is all my data Rip in peace?

I figured i wouldn't need to reformat because they were both already ps3 formatted, Now i cant even put them back in their original machines with out formatting..

It will automatically reformat your drive when inserting one

Asks me to do it by USB.



I just did the small drive by USB, my files are still here.


should i do the big one.

im scared, hold me

Back up files via an external drive..take out old drive..insert new one..restore files to new drive..transfer complete!

I Already missed my chance to do it properly by being a cocky asshole unfortunately

Anyhow formatted the small drive and the files stayed somehow, ill try the big one when feeling more ballsy.

if u got ps+ i think u can upload the shit to a cloud?
if u dont have ps+ n never tried it u can get a free 10 days idk if u can cloud save with that though maybe worth a try

Wait so all you did was take out the HDD, put it back in and it wants you to format it?

If that is how the system works what a fucking failure

failure or very user friendly being if you want to swap the hd u just throw one in and it formats it for you?
