    • Si necesitas realizar una copia de seguridad de tus datos de tu disco duro, sigue las instrucciones de este paso. Si no, continúa al paso siguiente.

    • En un ordenador con Windows, OS X o Linux, dale formato a un disco duro externo USB a un sistema de archivos FAT32. Asegúrate de que el disco que quieres utilizar tiene suficiente espacio disponible para realizar la copia de seguridad de tus datos.

    • Asegúrate de que el formato sea FAT32. El sistema de copias de seguridad de PlayStation 3 no reconoce ningún otro sistema de archivos.

    • Conecta tu disco duro formateado a la PS3 a través de un puerto USB y enciende la consola.

    • Navega a través de la interfaz de la PS3 (XMB) y ve al menú de "ajustes" y luego selecciona "Ajustes de sistema".

    • Selecciona "Utilidad de copias de seguridad" para crear una copia de seguridad de tus datos. Ten en cuenta que esto puede tardar hasta 2 horas si tienes muchos datos en tu PS3.

    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.

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.

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#)
