I don't understand your question.

I plug in the hard drive as an external drive then backup the data from the original drive into that external drive and then I place that drive into the ps3. Would it work?

I guess you can use your external drive to backup the hard drives data and then start to copy the files into the new hard drives. 

I want to know if the ps3 will recognize the backed up data if the drive is instaled as the primary ps3 drive.

It will recognized backed up save data and everything else but i'm not too sure about games seeing as your going to have to redownload your games.
