PS3 hard drive issue

It shows me "the file system on the hard drive is damaged and will be restored" after I select yes, it goes up to 100% and then the console restarts and the same message comes up every time -__- can you help me??

I have the solution!

Yeah, my PS3 is having a problem. I was playing and then I turned it off to eat. When I tried to play again, this message appeared:

"Startup failed."
"The appropriate hard drive could not be detected."

Please tell me how to handle the problem, but I think I'm going to take the warranty anyway!!!

Sorry, the link didn't work, so here is the solution: https://www.jeuxvideo-live.com/forum/topic/32298-astuce-le-syst%C3%A8me-de-fichier-de-le-disque-dur-est-endommag%C3%A9/

<sami83> I am asking you how to format a PS3 hard drive via a computer. </sami83>

Eh bien, si tu sais, je me suis renseigné et ils m'ont dit qu'il répare une PS3 pour un problème de disque dur. Eh bien, ils m'ont dit qu'ils prenaient une nouvelle PS3, enlevaient le disque dur et le mettaient dans l'ancienne, puis ils mettaient le défectueux dans la nouvelle.

<translate>Hey sami83, I wanted to know how to format a PS3 hard drive using a computer.</translate>

Me, same problem message: impossible to start. The appropriate hard drive could not be detected: finally, my PS3 is a 40 GB and it's not even 2 months old, I find that really annoying. So after trying the manipulation of removing and re-adding the disk, of course without results, here I am heading to Virgin for good customer service and there they tell me "very well, 2 months wait" and boom in the face, and it's normal they send them all back.............. Really very disappointed and given the resources of the company, I really expected something different..... I feel like I've been had without joking, 2 months I've never seen that, especially since I really have a basic use of the console. I was also told about a lens problem, which is normal anyway at 400 bucks, no problem. Otherwise, it is true that for the HDMI connection with my Samsung 40F86 BDX screen, it was pure joy compared to the 360. All that's left for me is to try to squeeze a commercial gesture out of Sony, one can always dream.

It's normal, your optical drive is dead, here is the message on the screen.

I think the disk is damaged!
I’m trying different methods again, and if it works, I’ll pass it on....

The problem is simple but risky to do yourself because you might damage your PS3. I have a cousin who had this problem, and I fixed it for him. First, you need to remove your hard drive, then put a game in the PS3 and turn it on. That's when you'll need to open a small cover that allows access to the hard drive's power supply. Doing this while the PS3 is on is very risky. There are three wires and a card. Unplug the red wire, then the card. Then put your hard drive back in, reinsert your card, and plug your wire back in. And yeah, it wasn't that complicated lol good luck if you do this, but be careful not to break your PS3. See you later!

Hi everyone

For me, the problem is with formatting the HDD!

The formatting always gets stuck between 77% and 85%, even leaving it overnight, the PS3 is frozen, I have to turn it off using the switch.

I've tried different methods: unpartitioned HDD, partitioned, formatting FAT32, NTFS, nothing works. But the hard drive is functioning, I've tested it on the PC
So if anyone has had this problem, let me know, the solution would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. The PS3 is no longer under warranty!!!!!!
P.S. When it's not written in SMS, it's easier to understand!!

It annoys me; I've had to format my computer at least three times, but the technique of taking out the hard drive and putting it back doesn't work.

yes me too I have the same problem

g u the same problem you just need to fix it correctly or else it's dead.

Essayez d'enlever le disque dur et de le remettre, pour moi ça a marché.

Hi everyone.
So my problem is that when I play (specifically on GTA 4), sometimes my PS3 makes a thunder-like noise and it doesn't stop until I turn off my PS3.
Thank you for your help.

Pour un problème de disque dur endommagé, il suffit juste d'appeler un informaticien qui se chargera de reformater le disque dur de ta PS3 pour à peine 50 EUROS, voilà c'est tout.

Hello everyone! It's amazing to see that this internal HDD problem happens to everyone!
I've been researching for almost a month to make sure I get the perfect HDD for my PS3 and in the end I come up against the detection problem! Please, can someone help me!!

Here are the details of my HDD (I don't understand, it's exactly like everyone says on all the forums!):
Samsung Spinpoint M5S 320GB; SATA-150; ref: HM320JI

Thanks for your help!

And Molotov sorry, I have no idea! Hopefully we'll get a response, I think it will help both of us!
