donno if your still interested to know this but you dont need to buy a new hard disk incase formating or restoring did not work out. you can always remove your hard drive. follow the removal tips in the help and support ps3 handbook. thereafter you should connect it to a computer through usb drive. you can do this by dismantling any old hard disk casing and replacing the hard disk with the ps3 hard disk. once done connect it to a computer, format it and then put it back into the ps3 system and upon putting it on. you'll just follow the easy format instructions and your back in business

- if this doesnt work you will have to purchase a 3.5 SATA harddisk from any computer store and replace it wit the one currently in. coz clearly its corrupted and theres nothing thta can be done to it.. if you replace it with a new hard disk of whatever size (20gb to 260gb) am sure itll work as good as new.... did the same thing and it works perfect and plays everything as good as new
