Okay so heres my situation.

Last year when I was playing Skyrim, my PS3 broke down and failed to turn back on. I had a 320GB HDD inside that was one i bought, mine originally came with the 80GB. So I made arrangements to send it back to Sony to have it fixed, but also went out and bought a new PS3. I swapped the 80GB HDD back in and kept my 320 since it had a ton of movies and music on it. i bought the 120GB slim and i got my old Phat back with the 80GB HDD. So now i have 2 PS3 3 HDDs and an external case for it.

I tried to backup the files to the computer like i did when my first PS3 broke but I cannot seem to manager to do that.

I tried using the two PS3s but when I put in my 320GB HDD it says I need to format the system, which would erase my data, but I'm confused since it should already be in the PS3's format. 

I can retry these methods with some advice from someone that has done it before, or if someone would have a different method that would be greatly appreciated.
