Could you please expand on that? Do you mean re-flashing the actual hard drive firmware from the manufacturer?

It's not actually firmware it's a security sector which may need to be removed to work in the ps3.

Is there a particular software that i can use? I'll google it in the mean time, however any advice would be appreciated!

Try hooking it up to your pc and formatting it with xplorer360. Download Link:Download Xplorer360 v0.9 Beta 6 (freeware) - AfterDawn: Software downloads

Thanks, ive tried that but since the drive has been re-formatted many times before - its no longer in FATX filing format hence the xplorer program doesnt recognise it!

I will be getting a new HDD soon, see if that resolves the issue... Ill post back when i get it!

Peace

Well good luck to you. I have been getting the "correct hard drive not found" on every hard drive I've tried since my PS3 shit itself the day after boxing day. I've tried googling it and asking on numerous forums. But other than the "engineer's menu" trick (which only tells me the same thing) no one appears to have heard of this issue before.
