    • Wenn du die Daten auf deiner aktuellen Festplatte kopieren willst, musst du diesen Schritt befolgen. Wenn nicht, überspringe ihn.

    • Formatiere eine externe USB Festplatte auf einem Windows/OS X/Linux Computer mit dem FAT32 Dateisystem. Die Festplatte muss natürlich ausreichend Speicherplatz haben.

    • Achte darauf, dass es wirklich FAT32 ist. Das Festplattenprogramm der Playstation 3 erkennt kein anderes Dateisystem.

    • Schließe die formatierte Festplatte am USB Eingang der Playstation 3 an und schalte die Konsole ein.

    • Navigiere dich im XMB zum "Einstellungen"-Menü und wähle "Systemeinstellungen".

    • Wähle die "Backup" Funktion, um ein Backup der Daten zu erstellen. Das kann bis zu zwei Stunden dauern, wenn du viele Daten auf der PS3 hast.

    Hi everyone !

    As many users I suppose, my PS3's HDD is full, and I tried to change it for a bigger one.

    But I'm stuck at the first step :

    I've formated an external HDD in FAT32, plugged it in the usb port then turn on the PS3. The HDD lights up, I select the good menu, the PS3 asks me if I want to do it, 'YES', warn me that my XP and trophies won't be saved in this backup, 'YES', then the menu asks me to plug a HDD ...

    I've tried to plug in the both usb ports when the PS3 is off, when it's on, formated my external HDD 3 times in FAT32, fast way and long way (when the HDD is re-written with 0) , and nothing changed...

    The external HDD works, is new, is bigger than my internal HDD... it's a WD, My Passport Ultra 500 Go...

    Any idea what's wrong ?

    Thanks for the help !

    Hi !

    I've found the solution : the external HDD wasn't good for this operation, because it's an USB 3, so I suppose that the PS3 doesn't deliver enough power to run it correctly. It's works fine with a external USB 2.

    I'll write later the complete 'arborescence' (or 'tree diagram' ? don't know the correct word to use) who is written in my HDD, it could help someone else.

    And after all this, when you want to restore your backup datas on your new internal HDD, I advise you to copy the last PS3 system software (downladed here http://us.playstation.com/support/system...) in a single USB key, it was easier for my PS3 to find and read it.

    See you later !

    FYI: Using the default Disk Management application, Windows can only make FAT32 partitions up to 32GB in size. If you have more data than that to backup you'll have to use third party software like: http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiform...

    That will allow you to make a partition/drive up to 2TB which is the FAT32 maximum.

    • Entferne die vier 4,3 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben, welche den Festplattenkäfig an der Festplatte sichern.

    • Diese vier Schrauben sind manchmal schwer zu entfernen. Wenn die Schraubenköpfe ausgeschlagen sind, ist unsere schraubenlösende Zange sehr hilfreich.

Hi there!

Thank you for this (and all the other) guide!

My Hard Drive Slot looks a little bit different.

You have to spudge away the door from the left side and after removing the Blue Screw you can easily pull out the harddrive and you don't have to slide the tray to the side and out afterwards.

Maybe worth a note that there are several versions around..

if you can’t figure that out you should stop gaming…

Azhrei2000 -

You can find a new hard drive on Amazon. Data's gone, though.

TheTank20 -

Any 2.5'' HDD or SSD will work. There are a few linked in the top of the guide.

i have a ps3 without a hdd and i want to put a hdd from another ps3,it's that possibile?

ommatol152 -

yes but HD’s are linked to specific PS3’s. It’ll format the drive you are trying to use as an external. You can backup the PS3 you’re taking the drive FROM first on an external, but I don’t know if you can restore from an external on a different ps3. I’ve done that before on mine, but it’s the same PS3, just put in a bigger drive.

Azhrei2000 -

It'd be great to mentioned that not all PS3 looks like that. Mine doesn't have a clearly labeled HDD, nor a clear door on the side. There's a small door on the bottom of the system which when opened reveals the blue screw. Then you slide the small cover (the one with all the DVD, BluRay, HDMI labels) to the right. Pull the handle and the HDD will come out strait towards you.

Jacob Einarson -

Will the ps3 work without the HDD, I have a PS3 without hdd and it doesn’t even boot up, it doesn’t turn on and turns off by itself . Is is because it’s YLOD or just because there’s no hdd——(Phat PS3 CECHG#)
