How do you...

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.

if it keeps asking to be formatted send back to sony or get a new hdd happend to me and was close i still had warranty

So everything's all good, just worst case scenario it needs a new HDD? sweet.

possibly try putting in a different hard drive and see if it asks the same thing

I had him put it in his laptop, boot into a linux live CD, and format it as fat32 ^_^
