    I don't know if it's the right section or if what I'm asking has already been dealt with or still is extremely stupid so I apologize if I made a mistake :o.
    However I have a 2.5 "HDD like the PS3 and the PC will not start and I thought to replace it than the PS3 to see if I can work around the problem and make a backup of data stored in the HDD
    I wonder if putting a HDD dual boot "ubuntu-vista" the PS3 read it correctly.

    P.S. Google Translate "speaks" in my place

    whenever you insert a HDD into the PS3 it will get formartted so: no
    you could try the usual PC-doesnt-start fixes though or just put it in another PC

    Thank you for the speed and accuracy of response.
    I was hoping that the 2.5 "as well as the sentence could be the salvation of the HDD that I've seen a lot of cables for the larger HDD.
    It will mean that it will buy a cable to connect it to the main PC as a second HDD and see if it resolves.
    thanks again
