My computer will not read my PS3 HDD! HALP.


Recommended Posts

Sorry i had to post it here, i couldn't find an applicable section (i'm still a newbie here)

Anyways, My Ps3 had gotten the Retched "YLOD", after that, i tired to take out the Hard drive because i want to back up my game data before i get it fixed (if i do)... i have it connected to my computer, and it installs the drivers, but it wont show up in the "My Computer"/"Computer" Section. I tried it on XP, and 7 via my netbook, and i tried it on 7 with my desktop, all fail. is there anything i can do!?

I used an adapter that my external Portable HDD had to connect it.

EDIT: serves you right for trying to mod/hack your PS3, why are people never content on just having stuff and enjoy having it, why do they have to mess with things??

EDIT: also the correct spelling i think you will find is help, you know with a 'E' not an 'A'

Honestly Xero, same thing goes to you - You almost jump the thread starter for doing whatever he wants with his own hardware.

Sweet, well i guess i'm screwed. I'll probably borrow somebody's PS3, and swap out the drives, and back it up with my backup drive (with the PS3 backup util.). thx guys, this thread is no longer needed. How do i lock this thread? (I can lock my own thread, right? i know i can do it on all the other sites i visit.)

Yea, it was physical heat damage, i didn't try to mod it at all.

You realise he wasn't trying to mod/hack his PS3?? His PS3 died so he was innocently trying to back up his save data.

As soon as you stick the hard drive into a different PS3 it will ask you to format it...

    • Backpack Hero and Figment are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has just refreshed its weekly giveaways promotion, and there are two games up for grabs this time. Replacing the Sable freebie from last week, Backpack Hero and Figment have now landed for all PC gamers to claim. As always, you have seven days to add the latest indie game permanently to your Epic Games Store library. From the double giveaway, Backpack Hero comes in from indie developer Jaspel, offering a unique inventory management roguelike experience. Aside from collecting items to maximize the potential of a run, like with other roguelikes, here, your placement of the item in the backpack also matters. Each run offers randomly generated dungeons, enemies, and loot to grab. Next, Figment lands from Bedtime Digital Games. This isometric perspective action adventure game takes place in a surreal landscape with hand-drawn artwork, and everything is taking place inside a mind. You take the role of Dusty, the former voice of courage in the mind. The musical adventure involves trying to return Dusty to his old self while also helping the mind beat back its nightmares and restoring its original purpose. The Figment and Backpack Hero giveaways on the Epic Games Store are now active, and they will last until July 10. When not on sale, both games come in at $19.99 to purchase, but PC gamers can add the duo to their library for no cost during the seven-day timeframe. When the giveaways refresh next week, Epic Games plans on giving away two more games: the next musical adventure, Figment 2: Creed Valley, as well as the classic arcade-inspired shoot’em up Sky Racket.
