PS3 HARDDRIVE

[MakinaCore]

ay eno up a bit it says it saves on the nand and not the HD thats the only thing he can think of that it sthe FW because of the scans hes done no bad clusters ect

[blazie151]

It adds a couple pkgs to the ps3, yes. As for what saves to the nand its the base firmware. But the firmware file is ~175MB and the rebug one is another 10MB larger, yet the nand is only 16MB, so do the math on that one. Unless your on an old phat, some of the firmware is saved to the hard drive.

so i ****** up my harddrive yesterday but got it fixed now i only have 268gb out of 320gb tryed a full format on the ps3 took like 15hours still not got the right gb even tryed a couple of quick formats to ? any ideas on how to sort this out ?

btw when you format is the rebug CFW suppose to stay on or is it to revert back to OFW ? rebug has stayed on for me ?

I've got a slim i had about the same as that new out of the box, same as 60gb I only had about 5ogb odd

So is there anyway for the PS3 HD to be recongnized by a Xp comp? i tired the programs listed and the disk management tut but the comp wont recongnize it at all. i am using a USB could that be the problem? i cant directly install the drive to my laptop they are not alike. So am i screwed?? thanks this is a great discussion because i wonder how other people get there old PS3 HD to work on their comp as a external HD or what they even use it for lol? any help would be great.

To read it no, but a few posts up i suggested a gparted live cd which should find the drive.

Burn the Iso, boot from it then select your preferred keymap then it will launch to a linux desktop with gparted.

You have two options now, use a gparted live cd or install Easeus partion manager, both should find the drive and let you delete all partitions or format it ...
