homer, why can't he just put the 160GB back into his PS3 and copy it to the external HDD? But this time format the external HDD first.

The ps3 reformats any hard drive you put in your ps3, even if it is already formatted. Basically, it swipes every hard drive before use. It would swipe his hard drive if he did that and he would lose his data on it.

lol wow

So basically you need to make sure your backup was successful before ever removing a HDD out of your PS3?

mysticwolf is in big trouble then.
