Playstation 3 help....

[rjb5623]

When i turn on my ps3, it looks like it tries to enter the welcome screen. Just before it gets to the user screen, i get a message that says "The hard disk's file system is corrupted and will be restored". I hit ok, because it is my only option. When it finishes being restored, it looks like it restarts the system. And then the same message pops up again, and again, and again.

My question: Has this happened to any of you? What did you do or can you give me any suggestions?

And yes, i know this is a forum for NCAA Discussion only. I rarely post, and usually just skim the board for game info. However, i do not know where to post this and have no clue what to do about my ps3. I figured this was my best bet. Thanks.

This problem always happens when you switch off your console while it is saving data or reading data from the HDD, so your HDD file system damaged, in order to solve this problem you need an external SATA 2.5 hard disk case, extract your PS3 hard drive and insert it in the SATA 2.5 case, plug your hard disk to a computer, you will find that the whale hard disk is unallocated, so format it with FAT32 or NTFS using your computer, after that return your hard disk to your PS3 console, now, your PS3 console will recognize it, and it will ask you to format it Say yes.

BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA IN THE HARD DISK INCLUDING YOUR SAVES, IMAGES, MOVIES.


Either way your Data is gone....So if you sent it in you'd still have the same results...so reformat the drive and put it back in the ps3....save yourself 2 weeks
