I know internet, grain of salt, but some guy on a (ahem) questionable forum was thinking it had to do with some specific buffer types.

I dunno either, I remember when I was first researching putting in a larger hard drive people were saying some drives wouldn't work.

I'm pretty sure sony did something that inadvertantly caused the drive to not be updateable. If I had just stuck with 3.55 it would have been fine.


Try reformatting your hard drive in windows. chkdsk is your friend...

Its possible that you have a small sector thats corrupted in your hard drive that is giving you the grief.  If you can repair it then try to format it in your ps3 it might work again.  Just a thought mate. 

Yes I was thinking of running a thorough disc check just in case. But i've already formatted fat32 -> ps3 -> fat32 -> ps3 a couple times to no avail. Last resort is to check for bad sectors or wait for next firmware.
