My ps3 is not starting. it says the hard disk files system is corrupted nd will be restored. and it goes thru the process but it doesnt fix it

Bring it to a repair shop..

Your HARD DRIVE (aka: Hard Disk), located on the left side of the unit, has crashed. You will need to replace the HD.

When you replace your hard drive, you will need to have the latest firmware on a

usb stick. Download the firmware from the playstation official website onto a usb

stick. Once prompted by your system you will need to insert the usb stick into the

PS3. Good luck..

You will need 2.5" Sata Hard Drive.

Bad sector or MBR on Hard drive needs replacing

If the PS3 built in repair is not fixing the problem this means that you will need to pull the hard drive out of you system and format the drive with a computer. The link below will walk you through what you need to do.

you have to wipe your ps3 clean, basically. It removes the corrupted data. I had to do this too. im sure google has the steps but i called sony tech support. its very simple to fix

have to do to format the disk because it seems you have a virus or repair if you do not get new

There is an alternate way to restore your HDD. Turn off your system and when u see the red light, hold the power button in front until you hear a total of 4 beeps (1 alone, 1 alone, 2 together). It usually works on second try. it should show a screen and say hook up controller with a usb cord. Then it should show i think 6 options. Choose the restore option. it should work.

Hope it works and wish you all the best!
P.S.- I just got the 80010514 error on my ps3 and my ps3 games dont work anymore :(

If that does not work throw in a new hd!

by a new hard disk it is easy. The only thing is that you will LOSE  EVEYTHING THAT YOU HAVE ON THERE! you can find a cheap one for like 80 bucks I have a 160 gig in now and i paid 89.50 email me if you have questions [email protected]
