| libertinias said: Do not just open up your PS3 quite yet. Is your PS3 still under warranty? Your solution really depends on whether or not it's still covered by warranty and you want to use it. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3743049&Sku=ULT40243 You can pull the drive, pop it into an external enclosure, hook it up to your PC, access the partition, find the relevant files, copy them off, and put your hard drive back into your PS3 before sending it in to get replaced, all without voiding your warranty. |
I'm guessing you don't have experience with PS3 formatted drives; they use a proprietary formatting system and the data contained on the partition is not accessible on a Windows, Linux or Mac based PC without custom software. Windows and Mac OSX will prompt for a format when the disk is accessed as the volume will be unreadable.
