Oh, does anyone know, if I remove my PS3 hardrive and put in the old hardrive it had (I had a 40GB and upgraded it to 320GB), then get it repaired, then after I put my 320GB back in will it work like normal or will it do an automatic format of the drive?

To be clear...I know putting that drive in any other PS3 will format it, but will removing it and putting it back into the same one cause a format?  There are some personal things on the PS3 my partner and I would rather whoever repairs it does not see, so would like to remove the hardrive and swap for the older one while the repair is done.

If i recall correctly the ps3 works with just one hd, the one which was last formated. in your case i think after swapping the 40gb back to the 320Gb (after the repair) you will be asked to format the 320Gb in order to use it again. Sorry!

if you dont want anybody to have a chance to get/view your sensible data im afraid you have to repair it yourself or just format the 320gb

Edit: or you find someone who repairs it without the hd, which excludes sony. Keep in mind the one repairing it cant test full functionality this way.
