Gives a generic corruption error. An error mind you that even SONYS website doesn't know exists.


How did you format the 640 GB HDD? I am not sure, so I am asking.


1) Put PS3 in standby mode

2) Hold power botton down to turn on, it will beep once, then beep again and turn off, release.

3) Hold power button down again to turn on until it double beeps, quickly remove finger.

4) PS3 will enter Recovery Mode. From there you can do a couple things, fifth option is to format hard drive.

After you format drive the PS3 will reboot, at which point it will ask you to hit select start to begin installing update from a USB drive to install onto HDD.

This is the part where it fails, after formatting completes and it starts to try and install the update to the 640GB drive.
