How do you...
« on: August 14, 2008, 09:09:46 PM »
Ok, let's say someone's ps3 hdd needs to be reformatted. You turn it on, press the PS button to reformat it, when it's done, it's back at the start and needs to be formatted again? How to you fix that?
(Software's corrupt or something? Formatting should fix that though and it shouldn't need to do it again.)

if you have an adaptor you can take the hdd out and plug it into a computer and format it.
