[fraz422]

you have to get the ps3 file reader for it you simple download it plug the hdd into the ps3 ( through the hdd part) it thinks its the 2.42 updator and skips it so you dont have to format

[fraz422]

only if your ps3 has faulty connectors on hdd but it it burned the fan you cant

Dude, you really shouldn't get people's hopes up like this.

It is impossible to recover the data off the drive, at least for now.  Very sad.

I did notice you both had broken PS3s yes the part i take exception to is where he tells you to get a SATA cable and attach it to your PC via USB. This is the part that WILL make your data UNRECOVERABLE due to the fact that sony uses a completely different operating system to Microsoft and the PS3 generates a master boot record that Windows cannot read so if you attach it to a PC running XP the first thing that happens is XP overwrites the MBR but cannot read any of the information on the HDD

@EDMIX But does this work though.. My problem is, that i have the YLOD and i have an 80HDD drive, with alot of stuff on it. If i was to buy a new 80gig ps3, and just swap the HDD'S would that work,... surley it would...

This is so fukin confusing all of this just want to play a game on ma ps3 bt cant coz of my shitey internet. How do u delete data on the hhd? Thts all I wantae kno .

[will22001]

Don't plug your HDD into a PC. Did this last night - the ps3 no longer reads the HDD - I believe this is linked to the MBR being affected.

Captain Hindsight would have been a delight to have a alongside. Put the HDD in the PC because have had the YLOD and didn't think I could get it to start due to the fact I had fixed the machine once before. Killer was when I got it started again. BE WARNED.

Yeah. So why don't you show us what to do next??? What is the fricking point of this video??? No point at all!!! We all know how to take an Hdd out of a ps3 lol!!!

[buddsterr12]

hey buddy i need part 2

[meelk0]

i thought my files are lost forever. i can't thank you enough dude.

extra data from ps3 hard drive.. use hard drive to create new format on ps3.. extract the data from that hard drive. copy over data to hard drive and play it on ps3

you gotta match the binary files though so you get the right file types in the same spot

The reality is the only way to get the data off your HDD is to get it fixed with out it. If you only have a lets say. 40gb hdd and no other hdd then your kinda screwed. BUT if you upgraded your drive, before you send in your PS3, take out your hdd and put in the old one. With hope, sony will just fix your PS3 (NOT replace it) and you can put back in your old hdd and back up your goodies.
