I just bought a new HDD for my PS3 because my old one was full. So I didn't have a big enough eternal drive (only had a 8 GB USB) so all I did was take all my movies, songs and game saves and put it on the USB drive, I didn't put any 'Game Data' files on it.

I have the new HDD in and I put in all the games I own and re downloaded and installed them all to get all the 'Game Data' back, but for some reason the save for my Fallout 3 and GTAIV is missing (I'm pretty sure they were both the Autosave files), my main one that I put a lot of hours in, I have other ones but they are all like 30 hours behind my main save. So I'd like to be able to access my old PS3 hard drive to see if I missed something or what?

So could I just take out my new hard drive and put the old one back in and check everything then put the new one back in once I get the save file, or is there another way.


Also will I have to reformat the HDD everytime I pop one in or does that only happen with new HDD?
