-   Samw with me since yesterday.
Called Sony and they want me to send in my system for a 150$ fix.
How pathetic of Sony. They cause the problem and they expect the consumer to shell out another 150$

Hi!

I fixed this problem on my ps3 by turning off my internet router, so the ps3 didn't get any signals from it. Then i turned on the console and it worked fine! Then I plug the router back again, and the ps3 hooked automaticly up with the internet. Then a message came up that told me it was something wrong with the harddrive system, i pressed "OK" and then it started to download and fix the problem and restart. After the restart I got the same message about the harddrive and I just started the download one more time, and now it works fine!:D

Hope this helped you to solve this problem^^
