Well I backed up my 40gig hdd to an external drive and then put it all back onto my 320gig HDD once installed...so whats the difference?

 

well, when you back up with the ps3, you see a bunch of encrypted files that no windows program, I know of, can decipher. you see, the ps3 may require that kind of encryption in order to recognize your back up when you want to transfer to a new hdd. If you do this with a PC, the encryption won't be there and your back up probably won't be recognized by your ps3.

the only solution is if you can actually locate the save files( most important) in a PC back up because you certainly can't tell jack from looking at the encrypted files backed up by the xmb.
