thing is, the PS3 wouldnt even start if your HDD is faulty...
I cannot begin to explain how wrong that statement is.
Anyways, you need to do a FULL FORMAT of your hard disk. It is the constant crashes that have damaged it, most likely permanently. However, you should always try this before splashing out more cash for a new hard disk.
Back up all necessary data, go to system settings and then format utility. Select full format and be prepared to wait. It will take 36 hours to format a 640GB hard disk.
After this process is complete, give your PS3 some rest and then begin restoring your data. If your problem still exists, you will need to purchase a new hard disk to resolve it. |

Because you cannot explain it? :) Pull your HDD and turn on your PS3. See how far you can boot up. Part of OS is on HDD Edit: we dont even know what he did so far (delete game, checkdisk utility, hdd wipe etc..)
There is a big difference between the hard disk being faulty, and removing it from the system.. |

let me fix that for you
Incorrect again. Data can be corrupted due to a hard disk fault...
You make no sense at all... |

Ok thankfully as all I had was dust installed this option only took 30 minutes. At least from the hold down the button system menu.
then I did what you said and following it up with the utility reset, and then I even did the whatever a PS3 system restore is.
Now I'm waiting for the dust game to finish reinstalling. One issue I got was old school nes glitch looking lines all over my screen, but only if I waited too long on the"Hold down the button Black system menu" So that was crazy, worried that meant it was a GPU issue... or some kind of combination? It only crashes once games start to run usually....
Right now it's stable enough to download and patch the game, thanks for your help, lets hope I get in and play without a crash.
Did you have to reinstall the OS from external storage? |
