You know what you should do. just buy a new PS3, and when you get it, take out your old PS3 hard drive and put it in the new PS3. get the platinum trophy on FF13, upload your trophies to PSN. then when your done, change back to the new hard drive and sync your trophies from PSN to your new HDD. problem solved!

For what should be obvious reasons, you can't simply swap drives from one console to another and have it start up like normal.

Until someone writes a crack to allow this to work, as soon as you install a drive from a different console that wasn't formatted on the current console, you will be prompted to reformat the drive as the encryption can only be read by the original console on which the drive was formatted.

For the purpose of trophies though, that shouldn't matter as that data is stored on PSN servers once uploaded. Any trophy data that wasn't synched with the servers would naturally be lost if anything happened to the console or drive.
