Did you install the old HDD in a 2.5 enclosure? That's what I did when I swapped out my 80GB drive. I now use as a portable backup drive.

@WakkoXtreme If you're planning on booting both OS's on one HDD I'm not sure that will work. They took that ability out with one of their latest updates, and since you need the newest update data to even start up the PS3 OS, that would make it kind of impossible. There might be SOME way to work around it, but I have no idea how one would do that. That's like some hacker shiz right there, son.

when you put in a new hard drive, does it have to have the ps3 latest update installed on it?

@kristiank07 No. You have to find the latest update online with a PC and use a thumb drive to port it onto the new HDD.

@Stoudman ok thanks do i absolutely have to do this? im not using any backup or anything like that. would it not be possible for me to just put the HDD in and let it ask me to perform an update?
kristiank07 7 months ago
@kristiank07 Well, It's supposed to work like that, but if I remember correctly it needs at least a certain level of update in order to even search for new updates. Since the fresh install of the HDD means that there is no real software to run from, you'll need the file for that. You can definitely try and see if it'll work for you, but if it doesn't then it shouldn't be too hard to remedy. It's not like you'll have to reinstall the HDD. :P

@xxRogelioOxx If it's big enough, I don't see why not.
